- Sounds like a *damn* good start to me.

- Though, I concede, I wouldn't get rid of soap -- just the idea
- that a body that has been recently washed with it needs to be
- doused in some horrific synthetic odor to avoid "smelling bad."

- I wouldn't get rid of toothpastes -- just the idea that one's
- breath simply must smell like a patch of mint 24 hours a day.

- that one will make you sexier than another.
-
- Definitely no haircuts or razors, though -- for anyone. [Except
- by prescription, perhaps.]
