Smelly Affair

Why do people wear perfumes? They do so to in order to smell pleasant in social gatherings or in other words, to mask their original body odour. The latest research says your body odour tells a lot about your personality. Once I was travelling in a bus and I asked my co-passenger if he was a halwai by profession. He said, "Yes, I am but how did you guess?" I said, "Because you smell of khoya and barfi."

A carpenter has the smell of wood on him and a chemist smells of medicines. However, you cannot tell everyone's profession just by sniffing. A policeman doesn't necessarily smell of criminals, drugs or bribe money but he definitely has a typical kind of body language. The research says if you want to know someone better, take a whiff of the person's clothes and it could help you discover his or her personality. Dogs also sniff as a way of greeting and judging each other.

A couple was on their honeymoon. The husband was tense and wondered how he should tell his wife that he had terrible smelly feet. But before he could confess, the wife made the confession that she had bad breath. The man took a whiff and said in a fit of dizziness, "Thank God, you told me. Otherwise, I would have thought you had eaten my socks."
