By nearly all standards, except French ones, my personal hygiene is not real hot. Here in Brazil, I bathe more than I did in the United States because this is the tropics. But I hardly treat the outside of my body as though it were my temple. Why? I rebel against common hygienic practices, which I find either superfluous or excessive.

Sorry Man, But I am not like you. I take a shower twice a day and I use soap. I don't know where you grew up, but there is nothing wrong with being clean.

What sort of inane diatribe is this? This article was poorly constructed and irrelevent. Twenty years in Brazil and this what the author has to say for himself? Get a grip. Yes, Brazilians do tend to wash often, take personal hygene seriously. Arguably, those with access to the proper facilities may even bathe more than Americans.
That said, the essay was absurd.

Doesnt wash hands written by Guest,
October 16, 2005
Unlike you I do not wash my hands after peeing or for that matter when I cook or eat. If you have ever worked in a resturant you would quickly see that ever resturant is not the cleanest place to eat. Just opening a door will get you dirty and as fot the money you handle just think where that has been before you touched it.

yah, the article was only marginally humorous and too long, but s**t! the guy is just giving us a glimpse into his point of view! ( I'm a woman who sees things differently however...) we are all as dirty as we wanna be, and as long as my ass doesn't stink and money doesn't make me sick then i'm feelin pretty good about myself!!!

the article amused me as it did the rest of us, so i guess that is why he makes the big bucks, while the majority of us are living.

seriously man, think about it, criminals shove cash up their ass which is most definately dirty to hide it, and its not like the police wash it or anything before it gets redestributed to the general population.

Criminal pooh money written by Guest,

They may not wash the cash after retrieving it from the criminals' poohole, but I imagine that they lick off the big pieces so the bills fit in their graft infected wallets...huh?..huh?

Seriously, The fact that your wife says you dont smell doest necesarilly means you dont smell. People do get used to weird smells! The other thing is, maybe you should have more respect for other people's noses. I have quite a sensitive one, and It does pisses me off when I HAVE TO SMELL smelly people! My last point is....money is very, very dirty. as a microbiologist, believe me , I know. You would be surprised at the werid , wonderful and dangerous litlle nasties growing in you regular tenner, or 10 reais note!
I do appreciate the humour and all , but please, have a shower now, with phebo soap, that is a brazilian soap taht will sort you out mate

Funny article man. I see after all these years in Brasil you have mastered "duplo sentido". Very funny. Too bad everyone didn't get it.

I don\'t like showers either written by Guest,
November 30, 2005
I think a shower every other day feels better...or shower after swimming...
I like the French...
...some of these responses seem unnecesarily mean (I think you can state your opinions withouth being insulting?)
(philosophically - what is not a waste of time?)

I don't even take a dump without babywipes. You cannot get that ass clean by dribbling water on your crack. Dude, your wife needs a nasal and sinus scrapping
