    Daily bathing is a fairly new societal invention. We were driving cars and lighting our homes with electricity before we were bathing daily. I wonder how BO was thought of before now, it certainly couldn’t have been considered as offensive. Cultural attitudes plus smell adaption? I just couldn’t imagine some old west cafeteria during the lunch rush not being unbearably smelly.
