Seven per cent of Norwegian men and six per cent of women wear the same pair of undies for at least a whole week before changing to a fresh pair, according to a new poll.

Norwegians with a high level of education change their underwear less often than those with a lower level of schooling, the survey of 1000 Norwegians, conducted by polling institute ACNielsen, showed.

However, 65 per cent of those questioned say they pull on a fresh pair once a day, while 4 per cent say they change twice a day.

Those least likely to change their knickers are in the 41 to 50 age range, while 18-to-30 year-olds are the most fastidious, with 73 per cent who change daily.

Single men are also more likely to put on clean skivvies than those in a relationship.

Eleven per cent of Norwegians change their underwear two to three times a week and 18 per cent do so four to six times a week.

They probably bathe as often as they change underwear.

That's what I was thinking. How in the world could you take a shower and then not put on a clean set?

The French are bad too. Ever been to the Louvre in the middle of July? Don't.

My old dad always says he takes a bath once a week whether he needs it or not!

I've noticed two men recently around town wearing kilts. There's a nice looking young guy that works for the local Home Depot who wears a nice suede one. I've contemplated asking him to go up on the ladder to get me something off the top shelf.
