McTravelling around the USA
In the late 90's my brother spent 5 months trekking around the USA with 2 other guys. They had a smallish van and a smaller budget so they did anything in their power to make their money last. This basically involved all sleeping cramped in the van as much as possible and avoiding costly hotels at all costs.

The downside of never using a hotel is that obviously your personal hygiene takes a massive nosedive and you hardly ever get to shower properly. What did they care though? They were young and having the trip of their lives. The majority of tasks such as shaving, washing your armpits and cutting your own hair could be accomplished for free in fast food restaurant bathrooms. So for 5 months that is what they did, save for the occasional visit to a cheap motel if they were in a town and thought their might be some booty on offer.

So on one sunny day in Florida my brother found himself at the mirror of a McDonalds looking a bit rugged after another night on the booz and several days of not showering. His face smeared with shaving cream and with a McD's cup of cold water (for this particular toilet didn't have a working tap so he kept the cup from his earlier meal and filled it with water when he left) he began to shave. Mid shave and hunched over the basin the door creaked open and in hobbles the worlds stinkiest tramp. He had unidentifiable skank on his face, dishevelled clothing and a discernible pong about him that could have been used disperse rioting crowds. He ambled over to my brother, put his arm around him and mumbled the immortal words, "Don't worry, we've all been there".
