Actually bathing is luxury to people from desert regions where water is scarce, just not Europeans who probably did it due to the cold weather Also some religions which shall remain un-named observe no bath days and that too in middle of summer. Trust me, going near them in humid and muggy NYC summer was no fun. I would prefer to be skunked instead.
