Troosha....
One thing I appreciate about bad timing (which I'm great at) is that at least you can get a story out of it. Otherwise, this post would have been about me checking my mail and riding an odorless elevator up to my floor. End of story.... Thanks for sharing a laugh with me, and for the compliment

I did read this before, McKnife. How could I have forgotten. Write another for us.

Toooo funny (and well written). Timing is everything, isn't it?

If it were a case of genetic deformity or something over which the person has no control, then I could definitely see past it. It seems a shame that someone friendly or nice may be driving off potential friends or acquaintances because of something as correctable as poor hygiene, though. Anyway, perhaps he was just having a bad week....there will be future encounters, I guess...

It's so hard to get past bad breath, green teeth or body odor, even if the
person is really, really nice. We're living in the gleeming teeth, deoderant, and daily bath generation, in a few years we'll probably all be wearing designer haz-mat uniforms. Anyway, I'm rambling...don't worry about your lady friend, I'm sure she knows the toxic fumes weren't coming from you. Kris

I hadn't considered that, about adapting, but it sure makes sense. His cheerful disposition reeked of adaptation. And yes, you're right about having a chance at redemption. I keep hoping fate will arrange a similar elevator ride for the young lady and Mr. RedBeard. Then she'll realize the innocence of McKnife. Maybe not, though, because she might just think, "Yow, this guy smells like McKnife." Anyway, I like your comment, Sam, and thanks for coming by

Quite right... Maybe hold my nose, too. There must be a way to do that and make it look like you're just scratching it, or something.

Yes, it was.... Something else that's interesting: I notice your little smiley-face has no nose...

What awful luck! Humans are the only one who adapt to their odor. The guy probably isn't aware he is so awful smelling. You will get an opportunity to correct the unfortunate situation with the girl. It could be a great conversation starter. She knows you don't have an odor anyway! Have a great day! sam

I'd think that situation calls for a sotto voce aside, like, "Take a shower, please." But in the real situation, I'd just hold my tongue, and my breath, too.
