That’s where the “Arr” comes from. Standing under a shower when the hot water runs out. Check it out. It’s in the handbook.

Well, at least there must be SOME attraction to reduced washing. From the history of Napoleon Bonaparte: “Napoleon bombarded Joséphine with letters, and soon she was his lover. ‘Your image gives me no rest,’ he wrote, offering her a thousand kisses. He never said ‘Not tonight, Joséphine’, the phrase we most associate with them. In reality, he was always desperate for her body. ‘I am coming home,’ he once wrote to her. ‘Don’t wash.’”
