King of Sweden calls for a ban on BATHS (PU Sweden!)
Daily Mail ^ | 12/22/15 | Tom Payne

The King of Sweden has called for a ban on baths to help save the environment. King Carl XVI Gustaf, who once had a reputation as a lothario and is now a staunch environmentalist, said he realised how much water and energy they used when he was recently staying somewhere without a shower. The 69-year-old ‘green king’ told Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet: ‘It hit me how much water and energy it used. ‘I thought “I can’t believe I’m having to do this”. I felt quite ashamed.’ Apparently in jest, he added: ‘We should ban all baths.’ The Swedish head of state said he now drives an eco-friendly hybrid car, turning around his lifelong reputation as a ‘petrolhead’. ‘When I drive into town, it’s on electricity,’ he said. Much like the Prince Charles’s overhaul of Highgrove House with ‘eco toilets’, the Swedish king’s residence has been made greener with environmentally-friendly heating and low-energy lightbulbs.

I look at that face and I think I can see Prince Charles in there, peering out through his eyes.

A mandate to bathe with your neighbor might have been better received.

Bernie Sanders is so proud! What is it with liberals and this obsession with stinking? First Bernie wants to get rid of deodorant, now this.

My how far the Vikings have fallen

The Swedish royal family is descended from a Napoleonic French marshal, Bernadotte, so this kind of makes sense.

She had a dream
About the King of Sweden
Been skipping baths
That he was needin’

He was covered all in grime
And emanating funk
Which brought to mind an outhouse
That contained a dead skunk

Hi-dee-hi-dee-hi-dee-hi.....

Seriously? I watched "Anno 1790" - a period "cop" drama, for a while, and had to look up the monarch causing all the unrest at the time. IIRC, that King Gustav was blood related to Frederick the Great.

Granted, I don't know, and frankly don't care about "royalty", so if Numbnutts XVI is or isn't of the same line, I still don't care, he's still a waste of O2.
