smelly guy

I know what B.O. smells like and I know it when I smell it. In fact, I have years of experience with this sort of smell dating back to early childhood education when I sat by the smelly kid in class, all the way to college when I daringly took a whiff of a friend's aged sweaty hockey bag. From these experiences, I believe my nose is acutely sensitive to stank body odor and for some reason, I can usually tell who it's coming from. This time was no exeption. I walked out of the office to start heading home, keys in hand, when a gentleman on his bicycle was riding by and stopped at the house next door to see his friend, I presume. I remember I got halfway to my car and sensed the worst B.O. I have ever smelled. I was confused, uncomfortable, and not quite in the mood for any food anymore. "Where is this smell coming from?" I thought to myself with a sour look on my face, "and why does it smell so bad?" I wondered why it was so strong because I was outside on a cold afternoon and would normally assume that the atmosphere would just cause it to dissipate upward. I guess I was wrong because it still smelled and the guy was still talking to his friend. I will always think it strange why the man smelled so bad (he was about twenty feet away from me). It was like one of those stories that no one believes whenever you tell it, like if I saw bigfoot or a leprechaun. Maybe you won't believe me, but I'm a believer of the extremely smelly person.
