Well, I've never claimed to be a "normal" American in nearly any sense of the word... Hell, when I was in the Navy, I would specifically time my meals such that when lunch rolled around, I could go take care of number two and get a quick shower so I could feel "clean" again.
I showered once in the morning, put on my uniform, and would always shower again in the evening while stateside. Sometimes, depending on the location and the heat / amount of sweat I was producing, I would shower in the morning before work, after I got off watch, and before I went to bed. There were times in Dubai where the heat was so oppressive I would take four showers a day... always the quick boot camp ones... turn on the water, get damp, turn off the water, soap up the important bits, turn on the water, rinse off, turn off the water, dry off... but I really don't see how people could go even a single day without a shower in that region of the world. And I'm from north Texas.
