  So tell me more about this "saggy" thang. Are you telling me that by the time I hit 70 I can expect to be dragging my balls behind me?

  Daily.

  Funny personal experience indelibly etched into my brain. Because my boss couldn't bring himself to discuss issues of personal hygiene he asked me to address a problem in our small tech shop. The conversation went like this:

  [me] Hey, you know they have this new stuff out called "deodorant."

  [BO man] Yeah? What's your point?

  [me] So when you use deodorant, do you just wipe once or cover like the whole area under your armpits?

  [BO man] You want me to teach you how to use deodorant?

  [me] No. Not really.

  [BO man] ...

  [me] I wanted to make sure you know how to use deodorant.

  [BO man] I use deodorant, man. What are you talking about?

  [me] Okay, okay...well, maybe it's that you don't bathe regularly enough or maybe your armpit hairs could use a trim.

  [BO man] Are you saying I stink?

  [me] Yes. But I am trying my best to say it tactfully. I just don't think that is possible.

  [BO man] Whatever, man. If you have some problem with me just tell me.

  [me] I, um, I just did.

  [BO man] Well, there's nothing I can do differently than what I am doing.

  [me] Do you have some sort of medical condition that HR should know about that makes you stink?

  [BO man] You are the only person who has ever said anything to me about body odor.

  [me] That's because no one else has the guts to tell you what they really think about it.

  (Boss walks into the office)

  [BO man] Hey [Boss], do you think I smell bad?

  [Boss, looking like a deer in headlights] Well, since you asked me...yeah.

  [BO man] Whatever! You guys are the only ones to ever say anything to me about it.

  [me] Um, maybe you should ask more people like you did with [Boss] and then they might feel more inclined to be honest with you. It isn't the easiest subject to talk about, you know.

  [BO man] Whatever...if it gets too bad people I think people would tell me.

  (awkward long silence with looks exchanged between Boss and I)

  [Boss] You know that part of your job description that says "Other duties as assigned"? I want you to work on improving your personal hygiene.

  [BO man] <snicker> Whatever!

  Okay, okay, another question.

  If I shower every day but refuse to mask my man-scent with manufactured perfumed products, can I still expect a lower social standing in the USofA?

  I only shower about once every 3 or 4 days, and here's why:
  
  Out here in the temperate climate of California it is not muggy so you don't get all sweaty just being outside. I also do not work hard - I just go to school, study and design.
  
  Actually, I have heard that dermatologists recommend not showering every day if you do not have to because of something it does to your skin or something. With that said, no, I do not smell in public and yes, I have a wife to let me know if I do.

  As long as you shower and don't smell like a dead rat you should be fine.

  LT, hon, as long as you wear unscented antiperspirant, you'll be ok.

  Apparently it depends on who you ask. Personally, I much prefer man-scent to manufactured-scent...well, depending on the man, I guess So, next time you're over here you can stand next to me...I'm quite sure I can stand it...although standing next to me might actually be considered a "lower social standing"

  Twice a day in asses milk followed by an invigorating rub down with a slightly moist kipper.

  If its good enough for the Egyptians its good enough for me!
