A Dirty Mind in a Clean Body

While showering last night, I pondered about the nouns and verbs we English-speakers use when cleaning ourselves.  One takes a bath, or one bathes.  One takes a shower but does not showere.  Similarly, when drying off, one does not towele off.  However, one could say, "I bathed/showered then toweled off."  Would it make English simpler or more complicated if more nouns had an "e" added to the end when turning them into verbs?

Such are the things I ponder when I'm in the shower.  I could think of you, I suppose, but then I wouldn't be showering so much as...

Never mind.
