Smelling bad is offensive

I was at the gym this morning and there was a Korean guy next to me on the dreadmill.   I swear the more he sweated the more I could smell kimchee.

 It reminded me of the Korean barbers I went to in the Army.  Great cut & cheap too but they all smelled of kimchee.

Years ago we had a janitor with a Korean wife and that kimchee smell was one of the worst smells ever, maybe even worse than a garbage dump or paper mill!

I had kimchee last Sunday for the first time. I didn’t think it smelled that bad. Maybe it wasn’t made correctly. I expected it to be spicier.

I don't know....I don't eat enough of it annually. But I don't mind eating kimchee.  I'm not sure if I've smelled kimchee around people.  It's like saying do Germans smell like sauerkraut and sour cream?

When my mother immigrate to Canada she found some Caucasian people....smelled like sour milk.  It made her slightly nauseous. Could that be the dairy based diet....cheese (it took awhile to get used to cheese), yogurt...  You guys need to smell yourselves first.. :D

When we were in Seoul this past summer for just 3.5 years....I must admit I was getting tired of seeing some form of kimchee on restaurant meals.  I'm sure there are different grades of kimchee, just like different grades of miso (red miso, white miso, etc.) in Japan but I haven't figure out differences.  (except I like white miso better).

One of the signs to myself that I'm getting sick is that some people will have a rancid smell, they don't look dirty and I don't normally smell this scent, but when I'm coming down with a real bug I smell it a lot. 

The guys I worked with always left the Pennsylvania Game News on the break room table. The best part was the stories in the back about a guy named Rancid Crabtree. Your comment made me think of it.

Rancid Crabtree was a character created by Patrick McManus, one of my favorite writers. He wrote outdoor, hunting & fishing based stories about life. One the most insightful writers I've ever read.

Now that you mention it it was probably another hunting and fishing magazine. Anyway the stories were always good.
