No stink here. You obviously have a case of “evil eye”. (tee hee) I bet your eyes don’t stink either. I know you! You bet someone you could get a bunch of total strangers to rub their eyes and then sniff their fingers, boy, the stuff people will do to get free beer. ---

Dude, can you light your blinks? And just curious but does eating pizza make your testicles hurt? ---

To properly find out if the aroma is coming from your eyes or your fingers, grab the nearest co-worker and have them smell your eyes directly (with their own nose). This should answer all your questions. ---

No eyeball stink here. No offense, guys, but you all have some really, really weird problems. First the guy who had achy balls after eating pizza, and now this. ---

I sniffed. I rubbed. Rubbed some more. Made sure the end of my finger was moist. Then sniffed again. Nana. Zip. Stink free. ---
