Tons of animals don't give a crap if they smell, and why should they: they're animals. They're supposed to not give a crap. Occasionally a dog will clean himself, and cats and rodents clean often, but I'm pretty sure that's less about smell and more about looking pretty (goddamn animal vanity), because they still smell afterwards.Most humans do care if they smell, and if they don't, they're assholes. The people who don't give crap if they smell are the same people who don't give crap if they cut you off in traffic, accidentally trip you, or plunge the economy in the shitter while giving themselves a raise. It's just common courtesy to make sure you don't smell like a Limburger cheese factory everyday. But if an animal smells bad, they're being a typical animal.

This is so true Walter. I couldn't agree with your assessment any more than I do. Spot-on.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific weekend. :)
The smelly people scare me more than most other things. It's the big scary people that I really fear...
ReplyDeleteMy brother Billy eats poop and other gross stuff! He is smelly! My other brother just simply smells!
ReplyDeleteSandee: Always good to hear from you; glad you agree. And you have a great weekend, too.
ReplyDeleteRyan: Or big scary animals. Think lions and tigers.
Melody: Yeah, poop eating will have to be addressed here soon.
The worst are the ones who know they smell bad but try to disguise it by putting on a gallon of shitty smelling perfume or after shave.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely, Julie. I'm not buying that they don't have time for a shower. It takes two minutes.
ReplyDeleteWalter - can I just tell you how much your blog here makes me smile? Not one of those disturbing dog smiles - but a big 'ole happy human smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bumbles. That really means a lot. And glad your smile is a normal human smile and not a weird dog smile. I'm especially glad it's not a cat smile which is the "I'm only smiling so you'll come close and I can smack you" smile.
