How to Have Fun with Anosmia


1. Be sure to make noises of disbelief when the car in which you are riding passes by a spot where a skunk/polecat was recently disposed of/killed/exhumed. "Hey, it can't smell THAT bad..."

2. Volunteer to be the one to buy meat and/or seafood from disreputable people selling food from the backseats of their cars on secondary roads. (After this, your friends will NEVER let you volunteer for anything again).

3. Smuggle Limberger cheese into the theatre; unwrap and eat during the pastry shop scenes in "Chocolat".

4. Allow your daughter to use you as a test subject when she goes shopping for new fragrances. (This is especially fun if you are a man...)

5. Announce to the household that you will clean out the cat litter ONLY when you can smell it.

6. Announce to the household that diapers/nappies will only be changed when you can smell it.

7. Carefully place a few eggs behind the refrigerator. (this is delayed action fun, as it will be a few weeks before the rest of the household takes notice.)

8. Call the gas company and tell them that the stove is leaking. (This is really fun when it turns out that you have an electric stove.)

9. Let the neighborhood wet dog inside on the same day that your mother is holding High Tea for the local bishop/vicar/dalai lama/pope.

10. Adopt a personal perfume all your own: I favor Papaya Pumpkin, myself.
