  • also they plan to pass a law declaring “he who smelt it, dealt it.”

  • Thankfully, the pungent smell of body odor will still be legal.

  • Crazy. I get seasick really easily. Should cruises be banned from leaving the dock to accommodate people like me, or should I just stay off boats?

    By the way, as somebody who writes about rudeness and consideration, I’m all for reminding people that other people have fragrance allergies and I don’t wear fragrance when taking a plane, going to the movies, going to a talk, etc. Yes, it’s possible to look out for others without legislation mandating it, imagine that.

  • “Look out! He’s got a broken candle!”
