One Person's "Scent" is Another One's Stink

[William Haskins]

It's not exactly up there with classic campus battles like free speech and racism, but Stanislaus State has an issue that's dividing it Turlock campus.

A group calling itself the Neurotoxicology Association has recently formed and its members want to ban perfume, cologne and other strong fragrances from classrooms.

"Toxins are getting straight into brains, killing neurons, making it impossible to concentrate in classrooms," said the group's president Kristin Oosterkamp, a senior studying psychology.

I actually agree. I find it worse to be trapped next to an over-perfumed individual than a smoker.

Perfume makes me sneeze. I think I might be allergic to whatever it is that they put in the stuff.

[JoNightshade]

I wouldn't go so far as a ban, but I too appreciate it when others DON'T wear what we, in my family, call "foo-foo." I'm very smell-sensitive for some reason, and I can't even go into those smelly christmas stores because I get an instant headache.

[Bird of Prey]

Good Lord.

[whistlelock]

Outstanding! Another thing to not do in public. I love it.

No mention of the Bush administration's dastardly plot at mind control via odor? There's a reason behind the multi-billion dollar research facilities behind the perfume industry.

The CIA's funding it through tobacco sales.

Don't believe me? Just walk into Macy's and feel your neurons misfiring.

Me too. I have no idea what people are thinking leaving the house smelling like they've marinated in perfume for a week.

[robeiae]

Big Perfume? Who knew?

[Joe270]

A liberal dousing of whale puke make folks stink pretty.

[Tiger]

Suggest that everyone protest this suggestion by refusing to wear deodorant.

[SpookyWriter]

Define deodorant.

[Tiger]

That which deodorizes

[SpookyWriter]

Lysol?

[Joe270]

Whale puke.

[SpookyWriter]

Whale puke.Let's try to leave sexual aphrodisiacs off the table for now.

[Joe270]

That's what they make perfume out of, whale puke.

At least, that's what the expensive ones are made of. I think Britney Spear's used her own tequila shot night puke for her "Eau De Trailer Park"

[travelgal]

I've asked my students not to wear perfume to class, since I get headaches and have breathing problems as soon as I get a whiff. They're happy to oblige.

"Toxins are getting straight into brains, killing neurons, making it impossible to concentrate in classrooms,"

That's one of the bigger loads of pseudoscientific, paranoid BS I've heard in some time.

Oh, well that explains it. She must know this guy:

Say Ambergris instead of whale puke, it makes it much easier to stomach when you accidentally spray it into your eye.

And who knew that stench could be legislated. Next we go after all those bastards depleting our rain forests with their damn decoupage!

[Joe270]

I like the idea of celebrity 'ambergris' used for cologne.

Perhaps it would serve to stop the deluge of the ego eau's out there. Might stop 'em completely.
