None as plural indefinite pronoun

Should it be his or their here:

A: Why did you put on that baseball cap?

B: Because I want to take shower

A: Nobody takes shower with his cap on.

What about the article? I want to take a shower. – GEdgar Mar 16 '12 at 14:23 — GEdgar, Mar 16 '12 at 14:23

You could leave it as is, but a gender-generic way would be:

Nobody takes a shower with their cap on.

-or-

Nobody showers with their cap on.
