Black Market Shower head

So when we remodelled our house, we did everything except the showers which were still in pretty good shape. In the master bath you find this beauty. My guess is that it is the original American Standard shower head from 1967. Why after 40 years has no one replaced this old worn out shower head? Simple. We don't dare. They do not make anything half as good today. This baby will drain the entire 40 gallon water heater in 5 minutes. In the process of giving you a very powerful back massage, it will gently rip your epidermis off until the water turns warm and then cold very quickly letting you know you've wasted enough energy and enjoyed yourself enough for one day. I assume people who build custom homes pay big bucks for this type of shower. Carin has resisted me when I've talked of replacing it. If you're interested, the Master Bath shower is now available for reservation. When calling, ask for the Cosmo Kramer special.

I'm interested in the Cosmo Kramer special indeed. We own a 2005 shower head and the pressure is pathetic. I remember in our first house growing up our showers were way powerful. That was back in the day that a dishwasher or stove would last you 20 years too. It's true, they just don't make stuff like they used to.
