How long can you go...
Without washing?

Was the brave experiment that my housemate and I embarked on. The first day is fine for obvious reasons. At the end of the second you feel a bit dirty. At the end of the third, you can really smell yourself.

Unfortunately for me, I'm quite an active person, and play a reasonable amount of sport, compared to my competitor / fellow idiot who sleeps most of the day. Due to me having worked up some substantial sweatiness in the gym, the fourth day was absolute hell - my arse crack and testicles were itching like I'd caught some horrible STD after being raped by a ringworm, and every time I moved I got an acrid burst of stale sweat to the face.

The fifth day was even more uncomfortable - things got worse when I discovered that my housemate had got up at 5am specially to have a shower without me noticing, so I sat through a full day of lectures (on my own, as nobody would come near me) before the paranoia kicked in and I stole his towel to feel for dampness.

If experiments have winners... Actually, there's no winners in that kind of challenge.

only five days?
Sadly, I must confess to going longer on a 10 day climbing expedition. Its not so bad, until you return to the real world and back to the missus. She wouldn't go near me for a month.

I can't go longer than 2 days
Without a shower. I at least need to wash my hair every other day. Otherwise it becomes fantastically greasy, itchy, and get spots on my head.

Urgh!
