Why would he tell someone not to wash?
@shortstories @nomebullyyou My guess has been that he likely somehow wanted to confirm there was no infidelity.
@RoninGrey @shortstories @nomebullyyou Because he was a grungy little french midget that likes to eat cream pie

@RoninGrey @Scubbie @shortstories @nomebullyyou because in those times nobody washed themselves. Joséphine was one of the rare people who would wash relatively often. Napoleon wanted her to stop so she could smell like a woman.
Body odors were considered an important part of a person back in those days and were not hidden all the time like today.
@RoninGrey @Lorgar @shortstories @nomebullyyou No problem all the French are disgusting according to history
@Lorgar @Scubbie @shortstories @nomebullyyou Thanks, man! I had never bothered looking into it, just had heard the story several times before.
