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?

smelt of sausages :-SI was 12 or so when our form teacher had a baby and we got stuck with this wonderful sub for two months. He had long manky hair and wore skin tight red leather trousers. But the best thing about him (note the sarcasm!) was the way he smelt of sausages. Nobody dared ask him for help in case he came over to your desk...
In the last lesson on Saturday (this was Switzerland, we had school every Saturday), we'd all sit in a circle and we were encouraged to discuss things that were bothering us. After much discussion in the break before the lesson one brave soul dared to ask him why he smelt of sausages (nothing personal, just curious...). He was rather surprised, there was no reason he should smell of sausages as far as he was concerned. Just the one small detail: he was fundamentally opposed to SOAP! Of course, everyone knows soap is EVIL!!!
