I'm inspired to recount this tale by Myrrander's article about people smelling.....

I read this in a British magazine's 'Agony Aunt' column a few years ago, but it has stuck with me ever since - you'll see why.

As some of you may know, the British have a reputation for having horrible personal hygeine and bad teeth.  The following will only reinforce that reputation. 

'Dear Deirdre,

I am a 42 year old man who has had a lady-friend for the last year and a half.  Things were going rather well until about 6 months ago, when she stopped wanting to have anything to do with me in bed.  She won't even let me kiss her anymore. At first I thought that perhaps had stopped loving me.  She said that wasn't it.  I asked her what in the world it could be, and she said it was beause I smell.  I don't understand how this can be.  I have a bath and brush my teeth once a week (whether I need it or not), and I wash my hands and face every morning and every night. I don't do a manual job, so I don't see how I could smell.  I really think that there's more to it than what she's telling me.  How can I find out the real reason behind her lack of interest?

Thanks a lot for your help....'

All I can say is......yukky!!!  YUKKY!!!!!
