Just plain “no” if you are a real plugger. A tee shirt will smell of oil and//or gasoline and//or engine cleaner and//or dirt and//or fertilizer and//or hay plus plenty of sweat stink.
That may work for T-shirts, but when I did the infamous “sniff test” on my day-old socks and ended up waking up in intensive care, that was the end of it, tell ya!
i get the feeling that the pluggers of this comic would not even bother to do their laundry, because it’ll just get dirty the next time they wear it. They use the same excuse for not making their beds in the morning.
This happens in the summer for me when it’s hot because I will take off a shirt and leave it somewhere in the house . At times there will be several shirts laying around . So you sniff them when it’s time to put a shirt back on ;-)
Clean T-shirts every day and I don’t really have a favorite out of the hundred or so that I own. Most of them were “free” at conventions and fairs. And in case you are wondering, I do 95% of the laundry.
I have 6 or 7 copies of my favorite shirt, so if one is in the laundry I can grab another. And I do my own laundry and yes, I also make my bed in the mornings that I am the last one out of bed. Since I am up at 3am, that is not often!
Scientists have found that people’s odor like that of many animals, changes as they age. Babies smell like flowers [most of the time], teenagers smell like goats [possibly why many of them seem to bathe in cologne], and old people have a “musty, grassy, or greasy scent that is reminiscent of aged beer or buckwheat” [nonenal odor]. Fortunately, our ability to smell seems to diminish as we age as well.
Husband has dementia and wears the same clothes for days without even taking them off to sleep at night. He never believes me when I say it’s time to take a shower and put on clean clothes.
If we are staying in for the day or as a shirt to sleep in, I have a collection of tee shirts with extremely small holes in them. I also sleep in old jeans with ripped knees (I am not on my knees at all, so I have no idea why same are the first thing to go on my jeans.)
Husband has reached the age where he is cold at night when sleeping. It took me a year or so to convince him to try sleeping in one of my old T shirts and a pair of jeans – but since then he wears same if he is cold at night to sleep in also.

A lot of these seem to boil down to “Pluggers have questionable hygiene”.

Diminished sense of smell is one of the early warning signs of senile dementia.

Even at that, there’s a ‘fudge factor’. Will I be seeing other people today? Or, it’s good enough for doing yard work all day.

It’s also a device for telling you who your real friends are, the ones who tell you it stinks.
