Yes, indeed. But pretty reasonable, eh?

Heineken and boiled eggs will certainly foul the air, as will chocolate, but Jan is the authority on this subject . . . .

Rico, I don't know what she ate, but apparently it created quite a stench! Thanks for the read, friend.

Ah, she’ll be fine now. If she goes to a covid ward she’s bound to find someone with no sense of smell. A nifty, if whiffy, limerick, Milt. Terry

(chuckle) so true, Terry. I hear lots of people lost their sense of smell during COVID. This was a whiffer, indeed! Thanks for your thoughts.

Astonishing.. hahaha She must be ugly or impoverished. Milton, It was enjoyable to read. Thanks for bringing a smile.

Lasaad, "tooting" is a euphemism for passing gas. Maybe some folks are not familiar with that use of the word. Thanks for your comment.
