Awesome Shower? I think Not

I was excited to say the least. My legs were sore and I probably didn't smell the best after a long day of hard skiing. The shower was calling my name and I was happy to oblige. It's a large stand alone shower, granite tiling along with a sitting area. The shower head is overly sized with 100's of water spouts but there's one major problem. The massive, circular spout is directly in the middle of the shower ceiling. You would, well at least I thought this would be incredible. I figured water would cascade from the ceiling and drench my body. At the time I wasn't too concerned about using gallons upon gallons of water. I wanted the "perfect shower." Unfortunately what i got was a very confusing and unsatisfying experience. Within minutes I was craving, almost dreaming about how wonderful my windowless, small, dual shower/bathtub bathroom in Denver would be. You see, when the shower head is directly overhead there is no middle ground. You are either getting drenched or dry. There's no leaning your head back to wash out the shampoo. Instead, the water pours over your head and down onto your face, back, shoulders...everywhere. There's no controlling it. There's no way to stand, lathering the soap on your body while the water shoots onto your back keeping you warm and comfortable. Like i said, it's either all or nothing. And here's the kicker. How do you clean that "all" important area. You know the part I'm talking about. I'm referring to the undercarriage area (oh yes, i went there). THink about it...it take a little flexibility and a lot of ingenuity.
