    It makes sense, but by the time she’s close enough to smell a man’s armpits, it’s probably too late to do her any good.

    Women have always had a better sense of smell than men. Now we know why.

    I don’t think I’ve ever sniffed any infected armpits, but I DO find the aroma of FRESH perspiration a bit of a turn on – must be the pheremones.

    I wonder if Ana Bagayan believes herself to be a contactee? That sure does like the kind of art a contactee might create.

    The only surprise here is that some science buffs seem to have been surprised at the result. Must be that some rate “smell” as a lesser among the senses. Such foolishness!

    I can picture Vlad, laying there with his feminine hygiene products and his citronella candle whilst playing with his boomerang. He was probably remembering what happened to him last time.

    Speaking of numbers, where is number 6.

    Gonorrhea by any other name would be easier to spell. Do you suppose that’s why they call it clap when you contract it?

    Interesting that there’s a cat up there in the comic. The female cats we’ve had are usually very partial to my armpit smell. They’ll pull my shirts out of the dirty clothes and huff the armpits. If only it worked as well on women.Oh, and occasionally a male cat will be fascinated with the smell if my running shoes, though not to the extent the females are with shirts. Though I did bury a running shoe with one of our males because he liked it so much. Appropriately, it was a Brooks Cheetah (a running shoe from long, long ago).

    It is amazing what modern scientific research can discover! Gonorrhea makes one smell putrid! Who woulda thunk it?

    Don’t agree about that…when I’ve had to be out and about sometimes for even days…without a shower…take that, city pukes…women usually seek me out when I show up in civilization…strange coffee house, restaurant, quick biz meet.

    I DO think there’s a LOT to be said for pheromones. And not much to be said for soap that puts dirt(‘scent’) back on your skin. Why smell like cheap chemicals out of an artificial perfume test tube?

    My guess is guys who are having trouble getting women ought to bathe less often and give it a try.

    We have PECKERWOODs in Arkansas, but we name LAKES after them, stock them with bass, crappie, catfish, walleye, etc., and let the pluralistic* multicultural* nondenominational* fun begin!

    * I’ve heard the term “peckerwood” used in parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma most of my life, and never have I sensed any racial overtones. Mainly I’ve heard it used by … shall we say less educated citizens in reference to what they considered to be the great unwashed.

    P.S. Is it noon yet? (my palms are getting sweaty)

    Does A Scented Flower have to die both by stoning

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYkbqzWVHZI

    and by whipping

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OokCkaNP5-s

    or is a choice involved?

    A death by any other name would sting just the same.

    and @SwimsWithSharks______________________This little interchange regarding personal odours is getting a little unsettling. I’m sure both your odours are perfeclty tasteful, however just imagine if someone NOT so savoury got hold of your e-mail addresses and transmitted…(well, I’ll leave it to your imaginations).

    However I can see a fun side to it, namely letting a politician know just what you thought of him / her.
