He's probably one of those stupid hackers that will be so scared about dropping the soap that he refuses to take the shower.
C'mon, it's just as likely that he's too fat to bend down that far if he drops the soap.
Maybe call the timelines with names appropriate for them, or at least non-racist terms. I'd hate for them to settle on something as stupid as "Star Trek White" and "Star Trek Black".
Wait, are you asking for a grim and gritty reboot of "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"?
