How Many Times A Month Shoulde A Refined Man Like Me Bath?

[TherefinedByron]

I believe that bathing is detrimental to health. Bathing has rendered I liable to fit of sneezing so I only bath once a week. Is it safer to bath once a month than to bath once a week?

[Peter Pedant]

well St Ursula rejoiced that she would only have a bath twice in her life and since she was a martyr, No 2 was on its way !

If it's not healthy why do it at all?

[davebro]

PS. when were kids we only had a bath once a week - Sunday evening in a tin tub in front of the fire.

It has been said, my noble lord, that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I bathed once a month, 'whether she needed it or no'. If such a bathing routine was good enough for our blessed queen, should it not be appropriate for such a noble personage as yourself.

seems unlikely - Gloriana was a renowned bather
bit like Diana
and Elizabeth Empress of Austria
two weirdos if ever there were a brace

Elizabeth ( Sisi I think ) had the bad luck - 1898, tired of the Emperor and Count Andrassy turning out to the a bit of a wet, was lurking around the Adriatic as a contessina
An anarchist was looking for someone to stab but drew a blank until someone said - oh there is a little old unknown contessina on a ferry you cd do in with yr stiletto
so he did
Elizaveta - end of.

oh, back to - does Smelly wanna bathe ( it has a refeened 'e' on the end) I smell a rat, I do

Depends who you want it to be safer for, if you keep upwind of friends and family you should be all right, I suppose. You could dole out the little vinaigrettes they used to mask unpleasant smells in victorian times.
