Nostalgia

Did you know?
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Pretty friendly guy tbh

When I worked at Coles years ago he'd come in periodically

It's an interesting story but there's one thing I can guarantee.................If they had a bath in May they WERE NOT smelling good in June.
