    You dirty skanks wearing shirts for 2 days. You can usually tell how old someone is by how often they wash, change their clothes etc.
    People over 50 are the worst offenders, they have a bath once a week whether they need it or not!

    Nobody can get away with wearing a shirt for 7 hours plus, for 2 days and not ponging. We have all worked with someone like that and it's not pleasant.

    Wear a long shirt and tuck it into your underwear. Or go commando, making your trousers your underwear.

    On the plus side he never has a problem getting a double seat on the train

    She didnt have a laundry basket, so she threw them at the wall and they stuck

    I change socks and pants each and every day. There's no reason not to since these items are dead cheap (say 3 for £5), take little room in the washing machine and there's no need for ironing (a moot point I grant thee). You just have to have a few dozen to last until you next turn on the washing machine.
