Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

diesel fitteri worked in exploration camps in western australian desert for years. You could do 6- 8week stints working every day. In the absence of women a lot of blokes let themselves go to seed for the entire time. if you were really motivated you could hang a bag of water that had been in the sun and have a 3 litre unsatisfying shower, but in two minutes youd be back covered in dust anyway. A lot of workmates reckoned you get used to the fetid stench, and the grime layer kept the flies and mozzies away. The dirt got in everywhere and I remember one driller's offsider who had to fly home early. To provide lubrication he'd been using diesel as lubrication for having a wank and his cock had reacted badly to it. He hadnt cottoned on to the use of company sunscreen that helped many of us to pass those lonely nights. Lucky he wasnt a smoker.
