If You Smell...Don't Come Near Me!

     Some of you are going to think that my commentary today is rather odd; if not altogether strange.  But as weird as it may be, I'm betting that many of you will agree with how I feel about the subject.

     I would like to own a business whereby I could tell all my employees that if they smell...they're fired!

     I would like to own a business whereby I could post a sign on the front door that reads - If you haven't bathed and brushed your teeth today...go away!  I don't want your sickening stench polluting my establishment!

     It amazes me - day after day - the amount of people I come in contact with whose bodies literally stink.  The odors are so powerfully offensive, so repulsively vile and so downright disgusting that I don't understand how they can even stand the foul air themselves.  I know some animals that don't smell as bad as some people.

     Personally...I shower every morning; and sometimes a second time at night.  There isn't a day that goes by that I don't use an antiperspirant deodorant; and every morning, I spray or splash on one of my favorite colognes. 

     I brush my teeth twice, sometimes three times a day; gargle with mouthwash, and chew gum or suck on breath mints throughout the day.

     Unfortunately, God did not create us - the human being - to be as fragrant as a flower.  As a result...since so many people don't practice proper grooming and cleanliness, I suppose I'll just have to continue sniffing myself when I get a whiff of another person who reeks.

     And that's The Controversy for today.

     I'm Gary B. Duglin.
