Plausible Explanation ?

It's not so much his calling me a whore that bothers me, it's the intimation that I'm a cheap whore.

I doubt if you are cheap Pope Carlos I. I posted the hams that stink are too cheap do take a whore bath. I am sure you were forced by living in an 18 wheeler to take a truck stop shower once in a while. If only those smelly hams would at least take a whore bath, the world would be a better place.
My memory was just jolted with three local examples of nasty hams who live nearby. They would show up to local repeater breakfasts. I assume they have hot water, and soap at their homes. It was hard to eat, and be in the same room with them. They were the type of ham who would sleep in the car, or truck at a ham fest. So there goes a couple of holes in my theory. I was suggesting that hams of 'normal' hygiene would become nasty due to sleeping in a vehicle. I can remember going to regional ham fests, and getting a hotel room, and sharing the costs with my local ham buddies. We would party all night, get a shower, head to the ham fest with little or no sleep, maybe still intoxicated. I saw things I am sworn to secrecy, things I did not want to see. One of these hams is a Shriner. You might have heard about Shriner conventions.
