Wear Deodorant

Do you know that old inspirational video that always seems to be going around on the web called “Wear Sunscreen”?  If you haven’t watched it yet, you should. However inspiring that video may be, I am not going to write about that today. I want to write about people not wearing deodorant.

We have spent the last couple months traveling the European continent and I’ve have ran across a lot of people that just plain stink. They smell at 8am and they smell at midnight. Sometimes it’s and old stench too, the tired kind. You see, I expect the bums to smell, they always do. But these are business people, wearing nice button-down shirts, carrying leather briefcases. Why do they smell? I’ll tell you why.

They don’t use deodorant. No, deodorant is not expensive. It’s not hard to find, it’s not prohibited, and it’s not considered an adictive drug in Europe, a lot of people just don’t seem to care much about not smelling like death.

We are here during the summer, which makes the problem even worse. Few establishments have air-conditioning and this only escalates the problem. This is not a rant, it’s a plea, if you live in Europe, and happen to read this, please buy your neighbor a deodorant, I did. Together we can change things.

Kthxbye!
