Will: Mom, what’s up with the strange guy in the shower? I hate how he’s always staring at me.
Me: Try not to make eye contact. Maybe you’ll forget he’s there.
Will: I’ve tried. I’m thinking about wearing my bathing suit from now on. I don’t want him to see me naked. It’s disturbing.
Me: He freaked me out the first time I caught him staring at me. After a while, you get used to him. Don’t worry, he’s completely harmless.
Will: How long has he been in there?
Me: Dad found him in the shower a few months after we moved in. He thinks he adds value to our house. Sometimes he shows him off to friends.
Will: So, who is he, anyway?
Me: Have you ever heard of the Grateful Dead?
Will: The Walking Dead?
Me: No, not The Walking Dead…the Grateful Dead. Although, on some levels, there might be similarites.
Will: Can I show him to my friends?
Me: Sure. Maybe we’ll advertise to the public. We’ll put a sign in our yard…
Come see the world famous Jerry Garcia in our shower…only $5 a peek!
Maybe we’ll get Jerry Garcia to fund your college education.
Can you see him?

That’s really cool, and kind of creepy. I don’t know how I’d feel about showering there either. 🙂

Isn’t that crazy? You can’t shower in there without staring at Jerry Garcia.

i know I’d pay $5! I bet Jerry would totally appreciate being on tour again, if you catch my drift.

You’re right. It’s just a matter of time before I have a line of 9 & 10-year-olds at my front door waiting to pay and see Jerry Garcia…even though they’ll have no idea who he is!
“Hey, Jay’s mom! Can we come in and see the dead guy in your shower?”

I enjoyed his music, but he was a controversial figure in his time. Many followed his band and worshiped the man. Others thought he was doing the devils work on earth. So who was right? Is an eternity spent watching our family shower heaven, hell or is it some sort of purgatory?

Poor guy. Next time I use that shower, I’m going to sing a little Casey Jones to cheer him up. I’ll even use the shampoo bottle as my microphone to make the whole experience more realistic.

I guess it depends on who is showering….someone once said that every silver lining has a touch of grey…

Somehow, knowing some of Mr. Garcia’s …. um … recreational products, I believe he would find being part of a shower a truly GROOVY experience. (Though you might need to pass some of those products out to get people to see the image. Of course, I can see it, but then again, me and Jerry probably have the same level of pharmaceuticals in our bloodstreams, even given his being dead! 😀 )

I bet he even used some of those recreational products in the shower. Just a hunch. 😉

It would be really creepy if his eyes moved to watch you.

Even worse, if he started to sing!

Jerry Tile probably wouldn’t like staring at me, either.
I’m pretty sure his Cherry Garcia is starting to do some damage.
