The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsTexas: The Slip And Slide State
Someone at Procter and Gamble had the wacky notion to study which cities in the United States were the sweatiest.
I guess it only stands to reason that those states closer to the equator would be chosen as the stinkiest and sweatiest, eh.
Coming in strong (scented) at number one 1 is Phoenix, Arizona; however, Texas seems to have more cities in the top 10 overall.
Here's the list:
1. Phoenix, Arizona
2. Las Vegas, Nevada
3. Tucson, Arizona
4. Dallas, Texas
5. Corpus Cristi, Texas
6. San Antonio, Texas
7. Austin, Texas
8. Shreveport, Louisiana
9. Houston, Texas
10. Waco, Texas
But, be proud, those in
San Francisco, California
Seattle, Washington
Spokane, Washington
Portland, Oregon
Portland, Maine
because you were noted as the least sweaty cities.
Perhaps that's another thing good about living in Canada. It's cooler here, so we probably don't sweat and stink as much.
But, I can't speak for everybody because I've come across some reekers up here.
It's not like taking a shower and using deodorant is rocket science, people. And, if that happens to be too much trouble (why, I wouldn't know), then throw some frickin' cologne on for bloody sakes.
It's the least you could do for our schnozzolas.

You live in Canada!? Are you a native? I am shocked. I didn't know Canada had ANY edgy people.

Born and raised, Rhea. And, thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. But, you're right, I don't come across too many of us up here; I haven't traveled the entire country, though, to know for sure.
PS - any interest in a blogroll exchange?

I live in San Antonio...and it is pretty humid here. Currently, it's 96 deg. F and 35% humidity.
And we do take showers!!! At least I do. Daily. Sometimes more than one.

When I worked in Jacksonville, Florida, I used to sweat getting out of the shower!

Sometime in the last few years, San Antonio lost to Laredo for the most humid city.
Also in the past few years, San Antonio has also been found to be the fattest city in the country, as well as the city where binge drinking is most popular.

Oh ya, beer, heat, and fat. What a combo.
Perhaps you're a rare breed of non-stinkers, Joseph. Do others stink around there?

Having lived in or frequently visited all but two of those Texas cities (Corpus and Waco), I gotta say that Houston is the hottest and most humid. The rest are pleasant by comparison.
