Well they do have the bidet.....but otherwise Sacre Merde!
No. See post 5.
At least they don’t crap in the streets, like we do in LA, SF, Portland etc. But they do (((smell))).
I quickly answered socks of course.
They both laughed pretty hard and said it was unanimous. Every guy said socks and every girl said underwear. No exceptions.
I have no idea what this means in the grand scheme of things, but I thought it was interesting.
US tourist: “In the states, we wash our hands after using the restroom.”
Frenchman: “In France, we don’t piss on our hands”.
We were thinking alike - French perfume;) Wonder, when and how it was first made. Probably inspired by flagrant flowers. Now I’ll have to research.
History of the World...
“The Peasants are revolting!”
“You’re telling me, they stink on ice!”
I think it goes way back to the French courts of Looie the 14th or someone.
Wow. Some things never change...
Go to Disney World with all the foreign guest. They smell bad..European, ME or Indian (dot on forehead type) It does not matter. Smelly.
Asians were the only ones who did not smell.
Also: Perfume enjoyed huge success during the 17th century. Perfumed gloves became popular in France and in 1656, the guild of glove and perfume-makers was established. Perfumers were also known to create poisons; for instance, a French duchess was murdered when a perfume/poison was rubbed into her gloves and was slowly absorbed into her skin.
The disinclination to wash their paws could make them more susceptible.
EUW.
Won’t do a thing for Michael Moore.
I was wondering that, too.
Eau de toilette literally translated as toilet water is a lightly scented cologne used as a skin freshener. It is also referred to as “aromatic waters” and has a high alcohol content. It is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving. It was originally composed of alcohol and various volatile oils.
TOILET!!! HaHa!
Somebody post a pic of Pepe Le Pew.
Sorry, nothing is nastier than a German. Some of the worst smelling people I have ever met - I think it’s because they wear a lot of wool, which they appear to have cleaned once a year whether it needs it or not, and I think they have an aversion to deodorant. This is the men, mostly; the women I have met in my travels abroad seemed fine, but you could smell the men across the room.
You ae supposed to change your underwear? Who knew?
So they are claiming that not taking a full shower or bath every day is unclean?
Why?
Or maybe just EU......
