Hmm, I smell a skunk. I wonder how skunks got so strong smelling? I mean, they don’t smell TERRIBLE, they just smell like the normal muskiness of creatures like foxes got turned up to 11. Ugh, and if they spray the stuff in your face you get all teared up and have to bathe in tomato juice… I wonder, you know Joe in Accounting? Well, he stinks pretty well too, but it’s just normal BO a little out of control. But it keeps me away pretty well. Hmm, I wonder if that’s kind of his way of keeping Steve from Marketing off his back? I wonder, if in a million years, guys like Joe will have refined their BO to a point where it will be an actual repellant. Wouldn’t that be cool if, like skunks, they were to collect all that odorant in bags somewhere, like under their armpits. So, like, if Steve got too close to Joe, he could just raise his arms and squirt concentrated BO in Steve’s eyes. God that would be so cool… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/random-thoughts/203493.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/random-thoughts/203493.md?page=5)
