How surprising is it that for my first submission to a new web site, I’ve returned to an old favorite of mine for writing? Probably not very. Today as I was riding in the elevator, on my 110 foot vertical journey to work land, I had the unpleasant fortune to share the bulk of the trip with a stinky person.
There are two types of stinky people in this world, the naturally stinky (like hippies and the French) and the enhanced stinky (think old ladies drowned in $1.95 perfume that smells of burnt rubber, menthol, and dentist office). It’s possible that there are naturally stinky people walking among us. They often use clever ploys such as bathing and hygeine products to fit in with the normals of the world. It’s quite possible, however, to completely overshoot “normal” and chemically romance your way straight into the enhanced stinky category. Sadly, there is a sub class of naturally stinky… the super-duper stinky, which cannot ever hope to rid themselves of their offending odor. Often they attempt to hide behind a toxic veil of Aqua Velva, Old Spice, and gasoline… but to no avail. They form the hybrid Super-Duper Naturally and Chemically Worsened Stinky classification. It’s a horrible, horrible thing to witness in the wild.
