古崇賢的学报

He may have known full well that he smelled bad, but not been able to do anything about it. One of the worst problems homeless people face is the lack of bathing facilities. They can, if they have enough change, take their clothes to the laundromat - but one can't even manage a quick "whore's bath" in a public restroom, and taking a shower, of course, is completely out of the question. I daresay most homeless people aren't smelly because they don't care enough to bathe; they just don't have any way to do so. (I have a very dear friend who lived homeless by choice for several years - he's the one I posted about whose girlfriend needed an ambulance, but they don't have a phone to call for one. When he was on the street, occasionally someone would offer him the use of their shower... but not nearly often enough.)
