My husband has a really funny story about being on leave and travelling up to Montreal or something. He grabbed a sandwich for lunch and was sitting on some steps eating. There was a bum kind of close by with terrible body odor. Well, the bum got up and left. turns out the horrible odor was coming from the group of French tourists nearby. You'd think people who are such snobs in general would be more hygienic, wouldn't you?
5 days for me. Several different times in the hospital while recovering from abdominal surgeries. I couldn't wait to get out of bed and into a shower.
2 days in camp. Wehre you had to stand in a line outside and it always got really cold.
oh...I didn't count being sick/stove up...16 weeks once...8 weeks in traction and 8 weeks in a body cast...that was some serious funk when they cut that cast off...![]()
They didn't try to hose you down through the cracks, first?
At least spinkle a little lime in it before they cracked it open? :vomit![]()
naa...the whole process was pretty disgusting...now when they put you in traction for that long they surgically put pins in the bone and pull off of the pins...back then they wrapped the leg with an ace bandage and wrapped in "loops" to pull on...when they finally unwrapped my leg after 8 weeks they unwrapped the skin with it...I was basically just raw meat from the knee down...![]()
I don't know, like 3 or 4 maybe.
Four Days while camping in Cloudcroft NM (which is gorgeous BTW...allthough Alamagordo is an armpit). We hit a truck stop on the way home for showers. My friend walked out of the stall with a pile of the clothes he had been wearing in his hands at arms length and a disgusted look on his face and asked us "why didn't you people TELL me I smelled like this?"
Dang, I'd hate to have your water bill!!!![]()
What happened??
24 days. I went to the National Training Center in California and stayed in the desert while preparing for Iraq #1.
We cleaned up using a 5 gallon water can. We brought 7 pairs of underwear, so I saved one for the trip back....
When we received our gear back and I opened it, that was the nastiest I ever smelled.
Man, and I thought the Brut was working.
I could go weeks without a shower. But I never have. I like to smell good for the lady.![]()
Football injury. Long story but I ended up on my back with the cleats on my left foot touching my nose...
I was on a fishing trip once with my boyfriend and another couple. We were at Lake Amistad for a three-day weekend. We got down there on Friday night, and no one had showered since then because back then, they cut the water off and locked up the showers in the wintertime. On Sunday morning, we were headed out in the boat to fish and I kept smelling this really rank odor. I kept thinking "Geez, it has to be ME, do I really smell THAT bad???". When we got to where we were gonna fish, the guys took the minnow bucket and the cast net to get us some bait. When my boyfriend opened up the minnow bucket, he said, "Thank God!" - there were some dead minnows in there. Turns out, we were both sitting in close proximity to the minnow bucket and he was thinking the same thing I was about himself. We laughed about that for years.
Apprx 2.5 wks in Saudi/Kuwait.
One week. Of course, I was on a dive boat in the Bahamas diving 4-5 times a day in the ocean, so I don't think that counts![]()
