What's that smell?..

Frequently, a conversation with my sister and brother-in-law turns into a debate on health, fitness, and the like. I love to exercise and all, and tend to eat balanced meals--something healthy and not so healthy--but sometimes I question their information. This time our talk was turned to analyze the length of my armpit hair. They thought it would be a good idea that I trimmed it a bit. “Huh? No way, it’ll itch like crazy.”

Anyways today before getting in the shower I contemplated the idea and tried to imagine what kind of a difference it would make. What I didn’t expect is for my armpits to look like Will Smith’s buzzed flattop from his Fresh Prince years. And yeah...it itches. “Why’d I listen to them?” But then I was quickly grateful for not spilling how I skipped showering for a week after coming home from school. It wasn’t bad though, at least not as bad as it sounds. I preferred jumping in the pool. How do you think we men get by when we’re in the wilderness?
