Dirty Socks

Confession time: as a missionary, I went over a year without washing my washcloth I used in the shower. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking of it now, but back then I figured it was coming into contact with soap every day so it was pretty much impossible for it to every get dirty. It was only after I began to notice that it was always slimy that I started throwing it into the wash.
