Tom,

>>>I'd be delighted. There are a significant number of stores I can't even walk into because of the scents in the air. For that matter, I've been trying to find shampoo and conditioner that work well on my hair and don't give me a headache for a couple of years now. (Fortunately, my tolerance for scents seems to have increased somewhat in the last year or so, since there just isn't any unscented stuff available anymore.)
>>
>>My roommate, back in college days, went into too much smoking and decided to quit. It was springtime, and he started sensing all the smells - flowers, fresh air, everything. His nose literally woke up, and he could sense a garbage can half a block away. After two weeks, he reverted. He just couldn't stand the odors, and began to smoke again just to anesthetize his olfactory perceptors.

>Time for a joke (one of my favorites) about smells.

>There were three drunks sitting together at a bar. One of the drunks had passed out and one of his friends decided to play a trick on him. The friend went down the street to a local Deli and got a small piece of the worst smelling cheese he could buy. Then he returned to the bar and rubbed the cheese under his buddies nose.

>Some time had passed before the drunk woke up. Immediately, he said, “Do you smell something”. He asked this of everyone around him and got the same reply. “No, I do not smell anything”! The drunk left the bar sniffing the air heavily as he walked, determined to find the source of the terrible smell!
>
>Several hours later after traveling all over the city the drunk returned to the bar and walked up to his friends and said, “It’s no use. The whole world stinks”!

>By the way, the worst cheese smells the more I like it! I think I got that from the Polish side of our family.

My dad, when he was a young man, had a buddy who took a girl out that dad was interested in, knowingly so I might add. Well, dad just took a piece of limburger cheese and put it in the engine manifold. Well... When the engine got hot the cheese melted and that wonderful smell made its way all through the car I was told.<g>
