Body Odor

Today at work the boss tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to help him with something. I followed him into the back room and closed the door.

He is a very nice man.
"You're doing a great job out there, but I need to talk to you about hygiene. Particularly, body odor."

I asked if he was serious.

"Yeah, I'm serious."

Then he asked if I was showering and washing my clothes. I explained to him that I shower regularly, but I wasn't in the habit of wearing deodorant because the wife and I are kind of hippies. I also admitted that I only washed my work shirts a couple of times since I started there two months ago.

I assured him that it wouldn't be a problem again and told him I would purchase some deodorant.
