Good Hygiene Is Your Friend

LOCATION: My office at school

OFFENDER: A student

VICTIM: Me

THE OFFENSE: A student stopped by my office to ask me a question. He did not have an appointment and he is not on the speech team (so it's no use guessing who it is). He sat in the chair directly across from/next to my desk. The stank that emanated from him caused my gag reflex to activate. Seriously. I couldn't determine if this was a body ("I'm too lazy to shower for three days") odor or a mouth ("Stink mouth isn't so bad") problem.

LENGTH OF VISIT: About three minutes

EFFECTS: After he left, his funk lingered. I opened the window, to the rush of cold air, and turned on my portable heater. I went to the library to pick up some books. When I returned, the air smelled like a heater was on with a window open.

MORAL: If you stink, people will blog about you.

Is this your subtle way of telling me I smell Sam?

No, Brou-meister.
I would tell you directly - because I'm with you more than 3 minutes. And that's my max on smelling stank.

Was it a freshman? Sometimes it takes them a few semesters to figure out how to turn on the showers.....

Based on the time, I'm thinking it was Masa's inform.

Know what else smells....lots of kids from third world countries. I think it is a sign of how \"third world\" your country is, like, how many feet away I can smell you from. It\'s a theory in progress.
