Fool In The Shower

There’s nothing quite like trying to find the correct water temperature in an unfamiliar shower. Most of us, when we find ourselves in this uncomfortable and vulnerable situation, will very gently nudge the temperature control in one direction or the other in an effort to find that ideal bathing temperature. What we don’t do is crank the handle all the way over to the hot side if all we want is a few-degree temp increase, because we know that will make the water way too hot way too fast…and we’re no fool in the shower. Hopefully. Unless we're a Congressperson. But that's a different story.

Financial fools in the shower are folks who swing that temperature control way too far as a reaction to a current economic situation. Instead of waiting for the effects of smaller-scale financial measures to take place, these fools get impatient. They want financial relief now, so they implement much larger and far-reaching measures in an attempt to fix the situation. In other words, they blast that hot water…and oftentimes end up getting burned.
