On a recent episode of The Steam Room with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson, Barkley told an absolutely hysterical story about his preference to bring his own soap when he travels.
According to Barkley, he prefers a bigger bar of soap when he takes a shower as opposed to using the ones that the hotel provides.
To Chuck, those bars of soap far too small. He said he’s had some close calls with those little hotel soaps. What does that mean?
Well, a very shocked Johnson pressed Barkley a bit on what he was exactly talking about, and let’s just let Chuck fill you in on what the reasoning was.

Once the segment ended, TNT cut back to the Inside the NBA studio, Shaquille O’Neal was in tears and the whole crew was joining him in laughter.
Look, Barkley admitting that he almost … lost more than one bar of soap while he was taking a shower is just too good of a story to pass up sharing. It’s not the most enjoyable mental image, but it’ll get you cry-laughing like Shaq.
If you go out and buy liquid soap after reading this story, we’ll understand.
