Was never intended as a jibe at anyone's personal cleanliness. I'd have to meet you first

Its a shower every time for me, I'm biased as I've spent my working life as a ships engineer, hot working environment (I'm in Brasil at the moment) oil, grease, sweat, lots of sweat, and inevitable aches of a 7 days, 12 hours/day. A bath ain't really workable (if the option was there) due to water consumption and I'd likely end up sitting in the middle of an oil slick, hence my 'wallowing in your own filth" comment, more diluting it than washing it away. Boat rolls around well enough that a bath would work better as a washing machine. If as others have said, a bath was actually big enough for me.
