What interferes with your normal, beautiful day?
It could be something you’ve seen, or heard, or tasted, or touched. For me, it’s a constant interference of a completely different sense. The sense of smell. And I don’t mean like the distant stench of Wall Street…which is the rotten smell of greed.
No, it’s the smells we have to get a whiff of every single day!
I’ll start with the first one I notice: BREATH! Morning breath. Coffee breath. Smoker breath. Old man breath. Old lady breath. Hot dog breath. Sausage breath. Anything you order with onions breath. Hard liquor breath. Skunk breath. And skank breath.
Ohhh…let’s move on from breath to other things that stink: Cat Litter. Gym Lockers. Exercise class. Exercise clothes. Socks. Feet. Underwear. Even belly buttons after sweating. Especially that little piece of lint that comes out of belly buttons. It smells just like someone’s butt! Oh, you don’t think so? The next time you pick your lint out of your belly button, put it up to your nose.
And, then there’s full body odor. Anyone who has eaten onions or curry. Anyone who doesn’t think they have to take a bath but once a week. Anyone who eats lots of garlic. Anyone that doesn’t think they need to use deodorant. Anyone that comes into the Starbucks after they have a long run!!
Whew! Then there’s Rest Homes. Rest stops. Hospitals. Airplane bathrooms. Gas station bathrooms. Park bathrooms. Football stadium bathrooms. Dorm bathrooms. Port-a-potties. Candle shops in the mall. Sulphur Hot Springs. And, anything that’s fishy.
Ok…that’s enough about smells.
The next irritating subject may just be about those kind of people who insist on driving really, really, really S--L--O--W in the left-hand lane.
Usually with their blinker on.
