With all the heavy news today (market, trade wars, shootings/calls for gun control) I thought this little story could provide us with a needed break.

In August I think I would overwhelm those friendly microbes with my sweat. Maybe it’s just a habit but I feel the urge to shower when I’m done working up a sweat outside.

He must have a cheese factory growing in his crotch.

Doesn't smell? Did his nose fall off?

[DouglasKC]

NOBODY ever thinks they stink after they get used to it. A skunk doesn’t think he stinks either.

[VanShuyten]

He’s just getting ready for life under the Green New Deal.

The BO emanating from the soapless while walking through the local Home Defect today was enough to make my eyes tear.

My GF smells really good (all over) after her shower. I won’t show her this article.

I stopped missing bathing’ ... David Whitlock

That's okay David. From the looks of you, you wouldn't get laid either way.

Huh...

As a swimmer, coach and swim teacher, I’m in chlorine 24/7. I need to clean off.

As an artist, I knew a LOT of earthy crunchy hippy/art freaks — I doubt there’s no odor. But... who knows.

I had a professor, my advisor in fact, who showered once a week. Talking to him Monday to Wednesday was pleasant. Later in the week it was hard to keep your face neutral while having a conversation with him.

People need to bathe regularly if only for the sake of others.

[Larry Lucido]

Does he park cars?

[Deaf Smith]

The boils on his body must be fun for him since he does not deal with it.

I’ve been in a few tight places in Europe that almost led me to puke from the B O.

At one time it was considered such a public health hazard Spanish TV ran government-sponsored commercials urging people to use deodorant.

THIS is one way to boycott Proc & Gambler

[Husker24]

You would think he would start sticking to himself. Nasty.

[ETCM]

The taxi drivers in Pakistan don’t shower either, and there’s not enough cologne on the planet to hide that fact.

Smegma city!

All part and parcel of the “return to the primitive” of Western Civilization. I can understand that many soaps are too drying. The answer is to find one that isn’t and keep showering. He says he doesn’t smell, but that’s BS. He’s just grown used to his odor, though other people haven’t.
