Toward the end of his life Mohandas Ghandi, the former Indian prime minister, embraced one of the more ascetic forms of Hindu mysticism. He waked nearly everywhere he went, which caused the formation of remarkably thick and resilient callouses on his feet. His meager diet kept him perilously thin and frail and caused a side effect of severe bad breath.
Which of course means that he was a super-calloused fragile mystic cursed by halitosis.
'A damned ill-conditioned sort of an ape. It had a can of ale at every pot-house on the road, and is reeling drunk. "
