How?

Postby ozzy72 » Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:50 am

I've been thinking, we can measure volume, temp., mass etc but how do we measure smell?
Is there a stink-o-meter? I just wondered as people are complaining about my post-chilli problem at work today ;D ;D ;D

Hmm, I know my wife is always telling me to turn the stink-o-meter down. I must have knock the darn knob off, cause I sure as heck can't find it.... :-/

It is easy to measure Ozzy. It ranges from a mild Paddington Bear stare via a hand waving to clear the air to the feet in the back to push you out of bed ;D ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Heck, my wife calmly got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom. Went out the back door. I heard the shed door open and close. She came back in the back door. I was expecting an axe or machete murderess to come screaming at me. She walked in, smiled, calmly placed a shovel beside the bed and said, "You can clean up the pile of crap I KNOW is under those sheets!"

To think, she use to be such a sweet innocent little thing and after nearly 20 years with me, Lord have mercy, she's become a first class smartass. Her training is nearly complete.... ;D

I'm so proud of her... [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...... ;)

Te measure of stink, according to one radio show that I heard, was "hobo power". The hosts explained that it's a scale of one to one hundred, a smell of 50 hobo power causes instant vomiting and 100 hobo power can cause you to pass out. ::)

Hmm, I've seen kids growing up that could bring down every window on a school bus. Wonder where that would rate on the Hobo Fart Scale?

My ex-wife caused the evacuation of a building....lmao....was such a stinker they thought the place was in fire. Of course farting into the air conditioning air return helped to circulated it. Glad I was over seas at the time....lmao

Go through Marine boot camp, the showhall food made all of us damn near explosive, and we couldn't release in front of the drill instructors, so as soon as they walked away for a few seconds, it was like the whole platoon joined the trumpet corps!!
