Premeditated Sinuscide.

Look, I understand. Really, I do. This job makes great demands on your time, and there’s only just so many hours in a day; and of necessity, some items will be shuffled to the obscure backwaters of your priority lists.

Furthermore, I understand that there are some physiques, which for purposes of discussion we’ll refer to as ‘well-insulated’, that make above-average demands on even the most formidable industrial-strength deodorants.

What troubles me is your inability to grasp that your lackadaisical attitude towards personal hygeine is NOT
compensated for by having doused yourself in a jeroboam of cheap perfume; they are, in fact, made much, much worse. I scarcely exaggerate when I say there are visible waves of odious volatiles rising around your considerable bulk, a sort of miasmatic nimbus that reminds one most charitably of Pepe Le Pew cartoons.

This is bad enough when one has the misfortune to find themselves in your pungent blast radius in the parking garage; but within the confines of an elevator, the effects are physically painful. Your portable shitmosphere becomes concentrated enough to sterilize septic tanks, strip paint from abbatoirs, and curdle milk while it’s still in the cow. Even after you’ve departed, your lingering calling-card can make the most stoic strongman weep quietly and pray for the loving arms of death.

I don’t know what circumstances led you to believe that this was acceptable, because it’s not. Nor is this a blanket condemnation of heavyset people; indeed, Reubenesque ladies are typically my preference. YOU, however, are a festering blight on an otherwise-enjoyable workplace. And not suprisingly, subtlety is lost on you; no amount of breath-holding, quiet coughing, or mass migrations upwind seem to drive the point home.

So until someone summons the will to break with the conventions of office pleasantries and either (a.) issues gas masks or (b.) tells you what a disgusting fucking WARTHOG FROM HELL you are, we’ll all continue to curse your pestilent existence.

Bitch.

Yeah, I accidentally sniffed her bicycle seat yesterday.

Damn.

Hehe :slight_smile:

Thanks Lieu, best laugh I’ve had all day.

Hopefully now your bicycle seat fettish is cured!

Man, that made me weep.

Sheer poetry.

It’s beyond poetry, it’s god’s own writing on the subject. Looks like someone has been reading their dictionary. I think I’ll go look up jeroboam now. Should that be abattoir, or do I need a bigger dictionary?

Stank was the subject of our second break discussion today. I think the best course of action would be b), for some people truly are dense and are used to the smell (be sure to use the words miasmatic nimbus when you describe the problem). Who knows, you could be one of them.
Sure, the ladies are Reubenesque. Us guys are just plain old fat bastards.

Hear, hear!!!

I went to the gym to play raquetball this evening. I was stunned by how bad some of the folks smelled. It wasn’t the workout. That kind of stench takes time to fester and grow.

What is wrong with these people?:eek:

Alas, no. Just listening to too much old Dennis Miller. Which didn’t help with this:

Your dictionary’s fine, but I should apparently refer to one every now and then. :smiley:

whew I thought someone was gonna nuke China…

But I guess that’d be sinocide…
