My wife's dear, late and hilarious uncle drove a garbage truck and came home... a little mussed.
We were all sitting around a table in his basement when he came home. From our vantage we could only see him from the knees down as he came in the back door and yelled 'hello everyone'.
We watched him kick off his boots and socks. We watched his shirts land on the floor. We laughed as we watched his pants and briefs slide down his legs as he stepped out and walked naked to the shower, leaving his dirty duds on their way to the laundry for later.
The water came on and we heard him singing Wagner loudly and badly as he took his shower and we all laughed.
Then I noticed the water shut-off valve next to me, and everyone giggled as I cut off his supply... but Wagner's opera continued loudly without missing a beat.
His wife hollered upstairs: "What are you doing?" and his reply came loud and clear:
"Dry cleaning!"
