PSA: Body stink

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...
 
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.

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...
 
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.

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.

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!
 
Years ago a oakie had a old good looking ford pickup at work. I asked him about it and he told me he inherited it from his dad. He said his father was missing for about 3 or 4 days. Finaly he was found. He had a heart attack and had run off a country road in oklahoma and through some thick brush that had sprung back. He said the truck wasnt hurt.
He must have read my questioning look and explained farther.
Aw, it aint bad. Maybe in winter when I turn the heater on ya can smell a little somethun, but it aint too bad!
 
Frankly he "acted" serious as a heart attack when he told me the story! However just knowing these type guys and with another 40 years of life experiance, I would bet he was haveing fun putting me on!
 
This is the Axe Body Spray generation. No need to clean off the bacteria and grime, just cover it up with something more potent and pungent.

Actually, the Egyptians came up with that first.
They (both men and women) would put a large amount of beeswax on top of their head, and the beeswax was filled with herbs/spices and other sundry noxious stuff. As the day got warm, the wax would melt and run down their head/hair and release the scent. I can just imagine the mess!!!

It just goes to show that we're not the first generation to go through this.

I don't even want to mention some Roman ways of "cleaning up," as it'd make me lose my lunch.
 
I heard the romans had public bath rooms. Toilet paper wasnt invented yet so they had community sponges and probley vessels of water. How would you like to be a maintance man back then?
 
I've had enough of this thread. It's like kindergarten toilet humor. I suggest body odor rank #2 after political threads as objectionable.

Now lets all light up a fart.

I used to work with a woman who used to wear so much perfume it would gag you. I would come home and my girlfriend at the time thought I was with someone else because all my clothes stunk of it. It got to the point where my girlfriend came to work to see the women because she wasn't believing me. One day the woman didn't come to work and quit her job over the phone and come to find out she was arrested for drug use. All I could think was the perfume was trying to cover up something.
