LOL. Your remark reminds me of a scene in a WWII movie set in the south Pacific. Some of the Marines believed in being really prepared, especially because there wasn’t much fresh water for bathing. One of the guys had a bar of soap with him, pulled it out when a rain squall came by, and took a shower.

Lol. I think I remember that but can’t remember the movie.

In Vietnam, many of us Grunts did just that during the Monsoon season. It washed away the smell of sweaty ammonia.
