'Soap dodging' The left's stinky little secret

Everything old is new again. In my era, giving up washing was the 'avant garde' symbol of hippiedom. They even wrote a song about it called 'Hair.'

Now, forty years later, the loony left has once again discovered a new justification for their less than desirable personal hygiene habits. They are saving the planet!

So you wondered what that smell was in the office or at the check out line or in the elevator. Couldn't be could it? And what about the ubiquitous smell of lemons that seems to be waifing about of late on certain women.

Looks like someones been watching old Susan Sarandon re-runs of Atlantic City on TBS late at night.

The left gives up washing
If you are reading this article over breakfast, the chances are you have recently stepped into the shower, lathered up your hair and torso, rinsed off, towelled and blow-dried, before dousing your armpits with deodorant, and wafting on a fog of perfume or aftershave.
Then again, maybe not. The New York Times has just reported on a new trend towards what's sometimes known as soap-dodging. Among those who have cut down on daily showers, baths or hair-washing were a woman who swipes a sliced lemon under her armpits instead of deodorant, another who uses baby wipes to freshen up after her lunchtime runs, and a salesman who shampoos only once a month and gave up anti-perspirant for three years.
Enjoy.......

The scripture speaks of "unclean" spirits.

These people are getting in deeper by the day.

I love the part about wiping lemons on their armpits. Not so good for a soap substitute, however. Stings a little in some places, I'd suspect, for some people.
