I've spent years working in small concrete and plywood buildings featuring variable levels of functioning air conditioning with Afghans.

So I went into Michael's the other day to buy acrylic craft paint... That place smells like potpourri and whatever oils they spray on the fake floral arrangements they sell...

This old dude walks down the aisle and I about gagged... It made me glad I was in there and not a store that wasn't so fragrant.....but then again, it reminded me of when I wrestled in high school. Some of the guys didn't shower...they just sprayed BRUT over their BO....then it smelled like BO & BRUT....it wasn't an improvement.

I never understood why people wrestle, but this thought makes the idea sound even worse. Bleh.

Nothing worse than being trapped on a long plane flight with someone who stinks. A stink you can chew on. A stink that could, if you don't mentally try to block it out, make you vomit. A stink that you know is going to linger on your clothes for hours. I asked the stewardess if the oxygen mask could be hooked up to the fresh air vent. Please miss, for the love of all things holy. She gave me a free drink and made sure I knew the barf bag was in the pocket in front of me.

Damn!

I worked at TCBY when I was 19 at South Padre. On a rainy, slow day we had four buses full of 10-13 year old kids come for ice cream all at once. The smell was astoundingly pungent, lol. Smelled like ass and cat food.
