Come on! I have lived in France from birth until June 1997, and I know people
usually have showers every day; baths, I don't know, perhaps every week. I knew
one guy who had a bath every day.

One of my friends had a shower every morning, but he already stinked at around 1
p.m. His window was permanently open, but nevertheless going into his room was a
torture for the nose. Another (a girl), was rather pretty, but despite using
deodorants, one couldn't approach her (except if she had an application of
deodorant in the past 3 hours).

Now, despite not using soap, I have much less body odors (I know that by
smelling my clothes).
