He took the medicice or ointment or whatever was supposed to get rid of the little critters but he didn't trust that to do the job completely.
So he decided to shave all his pubic hair off. Five weeks later it was Christmas time and we were in Izmir Turkey for 9 days going out for 5 days and coming back for another 4 days. He took leave and flew home to visit the wife and kids for the whole 18 days. But there was a problem. His pubic hairs hadn't grown back yet.
He told his wife that he was chewing gum in his rack and fell asleep only to awaken later and find the gum in his pubic hair. The only solution was to shave it all off.
His wife believed the story which proved to me that a wife will believe whatever she wants to.
