From USA Today:
Hours away from being reunited with 33 trapped miners in Chile, many wives girlfriends, sisters and mothers are taking the final steps for the encounter: visiting the beauty salons in Copiapo, about 25 miles away from the rescue site.
I don’t have time for a long post today, but this one just jumped out at me.
Look at these shirtless guys. They are going to be so grateful to see the sun, I’m not sure they would even notice that you had your hair up, nails done and were wearing a new dress. I mean, really.
Plus, I’m of the mentality that I’m not going to shave my legs if you don’t have the decency to shave your face.
That being said, these guys smell like they were trapped in a small room with 32 other dudes who haven’t showered, along with the excrement from said 32 other guys. Now, I’m not saying that I wouldn’t take a shower before going to see them (because, you know, you should take a shower before you leave the house), but really, if you smell all good and look all good, are they going to really want to be around you? They might be afraid to hug you for fear of getting your new dress all dirty.
The only way these guys are going to be able to give you the same sort of homecoming you are preparing for them is if there’s a gay miner down there doing everyone’s hair and nails, washing their clothes in leftover water and spit. For the love of all things holy, though, I do hope someone dropped some deodorant down the chute sometime in the last couple months.
Furthermore, if they really love you, they won’t care what you look like or what you’re wearing so long as they get to see you. I guess by that rationale, wives and girlfriends should skip the trip to the beauty salon and just meet the miners at the top of the hole naked.
Then again, what do I know?
