What It's Like #1: Showering after a hard work out

Everyone knows that gross feeling you get when you come home from a hard work out or a long day working hard and you are covered in dried sweat and grunge. This is especially true if you were at a sports practice; it was raining; and you are also caked in wet or drying mud. You can try with all your might the slime go away by wiping it with towels and your shirt, but that is always to no avail; the only thing that will work is a shower. 

I found that the below scene from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers depicts this perfectly. It is the scene where the ents march on Isengard. The orcs littering the ground are like the sweat and mud on your body. There are too many of them to take out individually. Hence, the ents are like you using a towel or your shirt; no matter how many times you swipe, there is some left and it will continue to bother you. When the orcs start to set the ents on fire, this is you being pushed to the breaking point of standing the discomfort. Then, the ents break the dam, which is you taking a shower. The water then flushes all of the orcs and their structures out as well as extinguishing the fires. This is the shower washing away all of the muck on your body and extinguishing your discomfort. Just like Isengard was cleaned of orcs, you are wiped clean of all the dirt and sweat.
