Pooey
Argh! 
Smelly aircon guy is back!
*choke choke*
*gag gag*
Is it too rude to go outside and get fresh air until he's done? And I wonder if he knows he doesn't smell too hot...
I am reminded of a TV show I watched a long time ago, one of those cheesy Fox specials about the worst jobs in the world. It must have been more than 10 years ago, but one image is sketched indelibly on my mind. Imagine an average middle-aged man, bare-chested and standing in a room. The room is bare, with white walls and bright lights such that everything looks very clinical. Then, a woman appears in the frame. This woman takes his arm, lifts it above his head, swipes something at his armpit and takes ONE HUGE SNIFF.
Deodorant tester. That has to be one of the worst, if not the worst, jobs in the world. (But apparently it's quite a high-paying job because you need a very keen sense of smell. And, sometimes the test subjects have to engage in strenuous physical activity to get the sweat glands all pumped up.)
Even now, whenever that image comes to me, I shudder involuntarily and gag.
Ewwww.
