Raising a stink
Why did I have to run into smelly people on the trains today? The guy sitting to my right smelled like smoked urine. I tried turning the other way and plugging one nostril to escape the stench. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants, and well dressed folks usually don't smell like that. Was he sweating and wearing his shirts for a few days? He was overweight... was he having trouble with a dribbly son? I should have farted and improved the air quality. I sat down on a bench to wait during a train change, and this time the guy on my left had the same aroma only worse, and he was definitely dressed to stink. At least we were outside, but I still had to move to get away from the burnt ammonia. Well, there was a worse time in Kagoshima on the tram. A guy got on that smelled SO bad that all the young girls were moving to the other end of the car pressing folded towels to their faces, and they were still all about to faint. I about died myself. The only thing worse was the bathroom wall of impenetrable stench at Tenmonkan Mujaki in Kagoshima. I have been in outhouses that smelled MUCH better.
I and want to pay xanga for the privilege of keeping a written record of these kinds of topics?
