It's definitely a way to have the last laugh, even posthumously, when you're a skunk. Because even a dead skunk, one flattened by oblivious traffic, stinks. But does the skunk really know he stinks? Sure, he knows his smell can be a powerful force, one he can use to convince predators to seek a snack elsewhere. But does he know???
Sometimes I can tell when I have a certain man-stench odor about me. Today was not one of those days. The Petite Filet, for reasons that have been mentioned a couple of times now, is hyper-sensitive to odors. This isn't good news for her, living as the lone female in a home otherwise populated by a 3-year-old boy, a 32-year-old manboy and a big stinky dog. On occasion, we reek. Often we do so on purpose.
Apparently, I came home from work wearing eau de makemebarf, at least according to the PF. Changed my clothes. Didn't really help. Mowed the front yard and walked the dog, then showered. Still not up to sniff. Maybe it was lunch (it was "free" lunch Wednesday at work; we had Italian). Perhaps the pepperoni calzone and garlic bread basted my breath with the fire of a thousand stinkies. Tasted good going down!
Nevertheless, she will likely sleep in the guest room tonight. That's OK. I could use the extra room to stretch out. It's been a long day. But ... *sniff, sniff* I think I smell pretty darn good.
Thank God the olfactory sense is not yet transmitted through the internet. ;)
I have often wondered this myself. I know certain people who just smell horrible. I realize most smokers can't smell anymore so they have no clue they smell like an ashtray all day everyday but still, other people who just smell bad - you would think they might notice such a thing!!
Poor T-bone... smell better soon! ;)
Poor Petite Filet! I remember how sensitive I became about certain smells. I normally LOVE the smell of coffee brewing, but couldn't STAND it when I was pregnant. I made my (then) hubby relocate the coffee center to the basement.
You may be right about the Italian food. And not just your breath, but garlic totally permeates through your skin! Even after a shower. Not sure of the answer, though. Anything cologne or deoderant strong enough to cover it up may be just as offensive to PF.
Good luck getting through it. Sounds like trial and error for the next several months.
Wow - that sure makes for difficult times. And I think it would be a shame to give up spicy food just because of the "stink". Maybe you should bring a piece home for her to eat. And then she wouldn't be able to smell it on you.
I only couldn't abide the smell of coffee when pregnant. And I love coffee.

"The fire of a thousand stinkies"? Awesome.
