Wanda Sykes: A Joke About Bathing

**Wanda Sykes** (0:04)
I'm the only one in my family who uses a washcloth. Now, I don't know if it's a French thing or a white thing or just a nasty thing. I don't know what it is.
I remember the first time Alex came to visit me, you know, I put the towels out. Bathtowel, hand towel, washcloth. It's a set.
And after a couple of days, I noticed the washcloth was fresh. So I was like, hey, Alex, babe, did you, you see I got a washcloth here for you? And she was like, oh, no, mercy.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:50)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:53)
You know, we don't use those things.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:55)
We don't, no, we just, it's just not the thing we do. No, mercy.

**Wanda Sykes** (1:00)
I'm like, well, what do you do?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:02)
She's like, oh, you know, just, you know, don't talk about come style. You just say, you know, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

**Wanda Sykes** (1:17)
And voila.
I'm like, all right, well, you know, it works, so okay. All right, cool. So then it was my turn to go meet her family, right? So we fly to Paris, and we're staying at her mom's. So I get there, long flight. So I say, hey, baby, I want to jump in the shower, you know, freshen up. Can I get a washcloth, please? And she's like, no, mon care, no.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:43)
I told you, no, we don't have those, we don't use those things, no.
I'm like, well, you show, you ask your mother. I told her, pfft. Mama?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:59)
Es que tu vas a petit serviette comme ça pour Wanda? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Elle dit non, je dis non, non.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:12)
Mon care, just, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do.

**Wanda Sykes** (2:20)
Allez. I'm like, get in the shower. I'm like, this is some bullshit. This is what this is.
But you know what I noticed is that my skin didn't get dry. You know, it's like I didn't need lotion. I guess when you use a washcloth, you're wiping off all your natural oils, right? So I'm like, okay, this works. So then, you know, I was over there for a couple of weeks, and then I get back here, and I get home, and I jump in the shower, and I grab my washcloth, and I'm in there, my washcloth, you know, all that. I looked at that washcloth. It looked like I had armor all up my tires. I was like, use a dirty hoe.
