I actually have pondered a similar question to this before, my good friend Rye. I wondered just what effect bathing, or showering had on my standing in society. I actually went as far as to do some research and testing into the matter. For a month I took a bath every day, and then a shower every day for another month, and went out into society and stood next to people as closely as I could and 'mingled' with the common folk to see how I would intergrate. People seemed to like me more when I bathed for a month, at least, they were less rude about my actions. So I now bathe every day.
