A man and a woman are sitting on a couch reading newspapers. The woman scratches her head and comments that her head itches. The man asks when she last showered, the woman says 7-10 days ago. Both resume reading their newspapers for several more panels without speaking. In the last panel the woman reaches up and scratches her head again.
