15 Reasons Why Daleks Don't Have Showers

15 Reasons Why Daleks Don't Have Showers

1. Shower cubicles are often quite small, they would have a tremendous amount of trouble getting in and out.

2. Daleks aren't very 'touchy' creatures. Every time a drop of water hit them they would shout EXTERMINATE!

3. But before that, how would they even turn the knob to get the water running?

4. And are daleks actually wateproof? I mean, we've seen rusty daleks before.

5. Each time the dalek shouts EXTERMINATE, it will try to destroy the water drop which hit it.

6. The shower wouldn't be a shower for very long.

7. If the shower wall is made to resist lasers, the dalek would probably end up destroying itself.

8. And there would be no dalek to take a shower in the first place.

9. Everyone knows that water drops can drive a person mad. What about daleks?

10. The universe does not want even more mad daleks.

11. Although I doubt they actually need showers. It would be a waste of water.

12. But if a dalek did decide that it wanted a shower, word would spread and all showers would be taken over by daleks.

13. And water would drip on them and they would go mad and EXTERMINATE.

14. And basically there would be lasers flying around everywhere on earth and on other planets with showers.

15. And the universe would end up being exterminated because a dalek had a shower.

I am slowly working through Doctor Who on Netflix, and I found this really funny. I think Daleks prefer to be dry-cleaned, actually. I've only got a few nitpicks here:

"Daleks aren't very 'touchy' creatures."
I think what you meant to say here was 'are' instead of 'aren't'. The only reason I believe this is that the sentence would make a lot more sense. (Plus, that thing in S1 when Rose touches the dalek and all that jazz in her hand turns it kinda good.)

"And are daleks actually waterproof?"
The 'and' at the beginning of this sentence is not necessary. As a general rule of thumb in writing, don't start sentences with 'and'. This basically goes for everything.

That's all I have! Happy 2015! :D

(sorry if i came on way to strong, i didn't mean to make you feel unwanted emotions)

Haha thanks! I'm glad you're a Whovian, there aren't enough of us.

And what do you suppose would happen if a dalek got soap in its eye?

I thought this was really funny! Great job! Never even thought about Daleks in showers! I do have a few corrections though.

". 2. Daleks aren't very 'touchy' creatures. Every time a drop of water hit them they would shout EXTERMINATE!"
Extermininate! Should be in quotation marks and "hit" should be "hits"

"3. But before that, how would they even turn the knob to get the water running?"
A reason should not be a question in my opinion.

Number 5 should be after 2 and 3 before 2.

Number 8 should not start with "And"

11 should be phrased
"11. It would be a waste of water, Daleks don't even need to shower"

13-15 should not star with "and"

I haven't actually watched Dr Who (I'm sorry :() but I still found this really really funny.
It's really well-written and well thought out. As well as this, it makes a massive change from reading and reviewing endless novel chapters which, after you've read about five, let's be honest get a bit boring. The title made me want to see what it was about and you didn't leave me disappointed.
I loved this piece and I really hope you write more like it :)

This is so funny XD I am a doctor who fan myself however I would never have thought of an idea like this! I like the repetition of the idea that the dalek would just go mad because of a few droplets of water. This is a very funny and original piece of writing.
Now I'm gonna go and laugh quietly in my room.

XD I literally cannot even. This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. I can't think of one nitpick (though I'm sure there are some). I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
