PSA: Body stink

JcMack said:
The guys and most of the women around here smell like Lava soap. Thank goodness I bought the gallon size bottle of .007 cologne in '70. I still have a half a gallon left. Two winters ago I got snowed in and had to drink about a quart. I usually dab a bit behind both ears and "special places" before I hit the Walmart.

You crack me up. :D
I'm convinced you "just ain't right". ;) (southern idiom for "off a little")
Take another snort and see if it fixes ya. :p
 
Had a friend of the folks at the next table at the Anniston gun show last month sit there off and on, wish it had been always off!!! Think it was a half bottle of Old Spice. Course it wasn't any worse than one of the perfumes some women used to wear before I retired. Get in the elevator and it smelled like two-three day old stale beer. Barf stuff..

I try to be considerate of others. I only wear Old Spice... or Halston I-12 or Z-14... or whatever my daughters buy me for Christmas. What really flips me is to be getting ready to attend a meeting and get a e-mail reminding the attendees to not wear fragrances/hairspray, etc. due to possible problems this might cause for people with allergies. I know such folks must have a hard time in stores and restaurants, sporting venues, etc.

HEY! Watch what you say about "Old Spice". Worn with Hoppes #9
it makes a guy irresistable to the opposite sex.

Who remembers that dreadful perfume Poison from the 1980s. Talk about an apt name. The mail lady who worked in our building could be detected 15 minutes out with that stuff. I swear that stuff could gag a maggot.

About the same time Brut was all the rage for the guys. I used it but not to excess. In the pub one night when one of the girls suddenly sniffs and asks who is wearing Brut. None of us fessed up thinking she was objecting. Big mistake of my part. Apparently this girl pretty much did the whole Porky's locker room routine on a whiff of Brut. Guess I missed out.:(

Sometimes I think this is more to do with so many folk having become desensitized to sensory input.

^^^ This. As we age our smellers tend to not work so well. This is why the old ladies at church dump on a gallon & a half of foofoo juice. They put it on till THEY can smell it.:eek:

My wife's so bad I need to roll down the truck winder for a few miles...:rolleyes:
 
Sitting behind the table at a gun show this weekend; some woman came up to the display behind me, wearing something I'd never smelled before. It was pretty strong. I sneezed for 4 solid mintues before she moved on.

If any of you are looking for the other half gallon of 007, I got it. One Christmas, 5 of my nieces each bought me an industrial strength bottle. So far I used 1 bottle, half when three of my dogs got skunked some years ago. The other half doused in a '66 Ford Falcon I bought cheap, cause some dude died in it. Never did get the odor of that 007 out of the car.

I have 2 8am classes during the week, and my seat-mate is a big, long-haired kid who probably works 2 jobs. He's a nice guy, but he is always falling asleep in class, but not before kicking his shoes off...


The stink is enough to make all of us on our side of the class gag and cough. The professor used to wonder about why we were all coughing until she came back to help me on an Excel problem. Her eyes got wide and her nostrils got skinny, and she looked at the pile of hair snoring in the corner, and left...

Now if I could get my 15 year old son to hit the showers more often, I'd have it made...

How funny. Christian Dior still makes this, it's one of their signature perfumes...and mine. It's an easy one to overdo. I spray it in the air ONE time, and walk through the mist. it works for me, everyone tells me they like my fragrance.

Our legal friend dealing with clients melting their eardrums reminded me of some stories about nonbrushing band kids and the funky stuff that made their instruments no longer playable. I've only seen two extremely bad cases , but when a kid blows thru the horn and the smell out the other end knocks you down...ugh...

The U.S. Army (of all organizations) has THE cure for bad odors in a vehicle. The M2A1-7. Very effective - takes only seconds and the smell is GONE ;)
 
This is the standard MO for going to gunshows. Stop bathing for two weeks prior, then a day or two before start eating beans and broccoli. Then wear the same clothes for a week.

Its amazing how the crowds just part as you walk down the aisle.

Chemical warfare was outlawed by the Geneva convention way back when.

I wonder if that's how Moses parted the Red Sea.

Me, I'd rather smell the aroma of O' De Pew Colone and Underarm/Groin Spray that the stinky ol' bodies of the of the other Walmart Shoppers.

If its good enough for Peppy Le Pew, its good engouh for me.

Rule 303
 
One of my soldiers got stuck rooming with a guy from another squad who wouldn't bathe (unbeknownst to me). The kid came to me one Monday morning and told me about the problem - the guy was spraying himself with pine scented air freshener rather than showering. I proceeded to tell the offending party to get his goat smelling rear in the shower and repeat daily or I'd give him a crash course in personal hygene with a garden hose and a stiff bristle brush. He knew I was serious. We had no further issues with body odor.
 
I use old spice. And that in spite of once dateing a woman who told me to quit wearing it because I smelled like a "old man"! Hey! Next month I will be 71 so I aint gonna give it up!
