Purity is a 99.4% certainty

Sometimes when you look through old history books you learn something.

Seems years ago it was okay for men to go camping, canoeing and lather each other up wherever they damn well please.

So long as they had the right soap - Ivory.

Ivory gave a fella permission to dabble in a little experimentation because it was 99.4% pure.

And, except for that one time at the lake, that's just what an early 20th century gentlemen could consider himself.
Almost still purely heterosexual.

So what does that mean for us in today's world?

Well, the next time you hear someone talking about how things were "really different" back then...you'll know what they mean.

PS - This purity effect applies to sailing and war as well.

Bottom line: So long as the environment is masculine enough, a little homo-erotica is fine.

Like prison, or a steel mill, or boy scouts out in the woods alone.

Very Brokeback Mountain.

KBK, are you alluding to the Gay Steel Mill from The Simpsons? Interesting analysis anyway.

E, we work hard, we play hard.

Ahhh Ivory.

The soap of choice for creepy uncles everywhere.

Ah, but you're missing the point. Since it floats, you don't have to bend over in the bath (or river/lake, etc) when you drop it.
