Kailash Singh is probably the world's smelliest man -- after refusing to wash for more than 37 years, the Daily Mail reported.

Singh, 65, has not bathed or cut his 6-foot-long dreadlocks since 1974, shortly after he married.

Explaining his unconventional decision, Singh claimed a priest guaranteed him a son if he followed the advice. He has seven daughters.

Singh spends his days tending cows in 47C heat, yet the only 'cleansing' he does allow himself is a 'fire bath' each evening, which involves smoking marijuana, praying to the Hindu Lord Shiva and dancing around a bonfire.

'I have no son, so I will never wash again,' Singh said. 'Maybe when I am born again I will wash.' (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

为生儿子男子37年不洗澡

       印度男子凯拉什·辛格或许是世界上最臭的人了,因为他37年来一直拒绝洗澡。

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,现年65岁的辛格自1974年婚后不久就没洗过澡,也从没修剪过那长达6英尺的头发。

       至于为什么会做出如此惊人之举,辛格说是因为一个牧师向他保证,如果遵循其不洗浴的建议,他就可以生个儿子,但到头来辛格却生了七个女儿。

       每天,辛格都在47度的高温下照顾牛群,唯一的清洁之举就是每晚一次“火浴”。“火浴”时,他会围着一堆火跳舞﹑抽大麻﹑向印度教主湿婆祈祷。

       “我没有儿子,所以绝不洗澡,”辛格说道,“不过,也许下辈子我会洗。”
