Stench warfare holds no terrors for me
(7 July, p 42). Some years ago, I
sustained a head injury in which I permanently lost my sense of smell. My smell
sensors became disconnected from the olfactory lobe due to a skull fracture.
Although I miss many of the good smells, I am also safe from the bad ones. I
am quite sure I could walk through Bathroom Malodor or Who Me? without turning a
hair.
Perhaps I should turn this to my financial advantage by offering my services
as a leader of riots.
