I got nothing

This is just hilarious. Apparently, people pay up to $20 to bathe* in a pool of mineral water in Saratoga Springs. That by itself is ridiculous (though this is coming from the Great Wiki Karmel who refuses to buy a bottle of water. Ever. Seriously people, its water. There are water fountains everywhere (and the tap water in NYC is actually pretty good)). But the good folks at the Saratoga Spa State Park have been diluting the water with tap water for over 20 years. Seriously, I got nothing...

You said, "bath" where you should have said, "bathe". The former is a noun while the latter is a verb. That is all.

Of course I meant "bathe". Good catch, USOWK. However, "bath" would have been acceptable.

From Dictionary.com:

–verb (used with object), verb (used without object)
13. to wash or soak in a bath.

Granted it is the 13th usage of the word "bath". 1-12 are nouns and 14 is the idiomatic expression "to take a bath".
