What weird smell do you like?

I love the smell of diluted skunk. I inhale deeply as I drive through a sprayed area and I'm sad when the odor is gone. And gas - I love the smell of gas. I know inhaling a bunch of hydrocarbons are not good for the lungs; it says right there on the gas pump. I don't go out of my way to do so, but I do have fill the tank up every so often. Just like with the skunk, I don't want the full blast, but a fine mix of air and stink.

Are you sure we aren't the same person? Skunk is marvelous for clearing the sinuses, and gas smells like being a teenager again.

I also have memory-based fondness for the smell of hot tar or asphalt, and I can remember being in elementary school and wanting to be the last one to get on the bus for home so I could stand there and inhale the deisel exhaust smells.

It's a wonder I've still got two braincells to rub together.
