A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

To clarify, are you saying that you'd have to start off with some mental illness to be able to act like you didn't have it?

Not sure if I'm stepping to a bait, but only insane people would have the need "to act sane", right?

My unproven hypothesis is that everybody's a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.

I'm not baiting, it just seemed like you might have been trying to call someone mentally ill and i was making sure that wasn't the case.
