We scrub our entire bodies every day, making sure to wash and rinse every nook and crany in ourselves with this thing that kills germs. And then we use a special foamy liquid to scrub our scalp and wash our hair. We shave certain parts of our bodies every day. When we are done, we put deodorant on. We brush our teeth with pasty stuff that is supposed to clean our mouths... and then use mouthwash to finish off killing all the germs. We put powder on our feet before putting shoes and socks on for the day. And then as the last step we spray on perfume and/or scented lotions.
...And we do this every day. I mean, as humans we must be extremely smelly creatures when we have to do this entire ritual every day just to keep from smelling bad.
What you mean "we", and "every day", kemo sabe? If it is extremely cold weather, I don't shower every day. I shave 3 times a week. I brush and floss my teeth but don't use mouthwash. I don't powder my feet unless I'm going to be sweating heavily.
We can do with a lot less washing and foo-foo than Madison Avenue advertisers have told us.
...and my stool smells like fresh-baked cinnamon buns, too.

Here's to you ... motorcycle man.
Edited to add: or woman
In cowboy country they do the same thing, but both have to be driving trucks. Lift one index finger off the wheel. It is not done if a non truck is involved.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned going to church. Shouldn't god know your thoughts?
Or pulling over and stopping while a funeral procession passes.
When I had a motorcycle, it was a raised fist, in salute to other riders. I got rid of it because it seemed like everyone in the greater Los Angeles area wanted to kill me. I didn't like riding with kind of paranoia.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
