I could eat raw garlic till the cows come home, doesn't affect me much - but I bet I would stink to high heaven if I did. So that's the Frogs handled. Then we have the Eye-Ties and their greasiness. Then we have the vegans and their bottom wind from eating loads of Brussels sprouts. Have I offended anyone by being offended by humanity in all it's colours, smells, shapes, attitudes?! ;-)SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-8785200716604304942011-02-17T22:41:24.179+00:002011-02-17T22:41:24.179+00:00Perhaps those nice people in the pharmaceutical in...<i>Perhaps those nice people in the pharmaceutical industry could invent cumin replacement therapy or some such.</i><br /><br />I've just bought an e-curry kit and it's awesome!

The USA bears a large responsibility. I worked there for a year. Life seemed to have fewer dimensions. I realised why. Everyone smelled of soap. No human odour. I guess comes from prosperity.
