Stinky

If I ruled the world, I'd make sure that anyone who sold perfume and/or cologne could only do so if they agreed to explicitly instruct the buyers on its proper application and usage. When misused, perfume and cologne can be more offensive than body odor. I almost died of asphyxiation tonight, trapped on an airport shuttle with an overly zealous perfume user.

Seriously, people. One squirt is PLENTY.

Let’s not forget to include the hyper-scented, frat boy deodorant.

Absolutely. And I could definitely live in a world where AXE Body Spray didn't exist. I can't even walk down that aisle in the drug store.

Middle schoolers are the worst, as they are just learning to use cologne/perfume. The boys seem to think it's ok to use it to cover-up their nasty gym smell. There were days I'd have to open my classroom windows to breathe over the B.O./AXE mix. blech.

@ big D wilsons - Just checked your blog, and found that we are not in the same district. Which scares me, by the way. This means my sub training experience wasn't an isolated incident.:)

As for the smells of middle school? Those are universal, I think. By the end of the school day, I could only breathe through my mouth...
