Sorry for the sweeping generalization, but, generally speaking, homeless people are malodorous.
No offense, homeless people.
I find they smell like a cross between really bad B.O., mildew, a raging yeast infection and decomposing flesh.
Have you ever smelled decomposing flesh? I have. Many times. I have also encountered people who had raging yeast infections. They smelled pretty horrible too.
NO, I don't go around sniffing dead people and vaginas you WEIRDO.
Because that would be gross.
DUH.
I used to work on an ambulance in an urban setting and in that capacity I occasionally encountered decomposing corpses and prostitutes who took very poor care of their nether-regions.
Decomposing flesh is an odor you will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, forget once sniffed. It's part flowers, part rotting fruit, part piece-of-juicy-fruit-gum, part oh-holy-shit-what-the-fuck-is-that-smell. Once your limbic system encounters that particular olfactory stimuli a part of it DIES.
FACT.
Same is true in prostitutes with raging yeast infections. Once smelled you shall NEVER forget.
TRUTH.
I'm actually unsure of what smell is worse--a dead body or a prostitute with a raging yeast infection. Rest assured, I have NO desire to really learn to differentiate between the two and am pretty sure that BOTH are equally disgusting smelling.
But I digress.
Today at The Job, one of my clients showed up smelling EXACTLY like a homeless person with a raging yeast infection. And I don't work with homeless people. This was a regular, housed person so I have no explanation as to how she came to be smelling the way she did (although, frankly...I do have some guesses).
Here's what happened next (no joke):
Me (to client): You're especially stinky today.
Client: Oh, yeah. I know. someone already told me.
Me: can I spray you with this perfume I have?
Client: what?
Me: i'm not sure I can continue the meeting under these conditions...
Client: ummm...
Me: (pulling perfume out & uncapping) I'm just going to spritz you real quick like...ok?
Client: ok
Me: (spraying client w/ perfume) Thanks.
Client: sure
Client: Oh, yeah. I know. someone already told me.
Me: can I spray you with this perfume I have?
Client: what?
Me: i'm not sure I can continue the meeting under these conditions...
Client: ummm...
Me: (pulling perfume out & uncapping) I'm just going to spritz you real quick like...ok?
Client: ok
Me: (spraying client w/ perfume) Thanks.
Client: sure
So let this be a lesson to all smelly people who come across my path: If you STINK, I will pull a perfumed body spray out of SOMEWHERE and spray you with it.
The End.
