Crazy Cocktail Party Question For August...
Boy, is it ever hot and humid! It's hard to look fresh and composed in the August heat.
So when I whimsically asked a group of drooping American audience members,
"Would you rather look bad or smell bad?"...
I wasn't surprised by the 100% response.
Absolutely nobody wants to smell bad. Given a choice between the two, most people opt for looking bad over smelling bad. Here's the reasoning --
"Hey, if I look bad, only the people who look at me suffer my appearance. But when I smell bad -- everyone suffers."
Of course, this could be an entirely American opinion. We may seem obsessed with appearances, but we're hyper-vigilant about odors.
But really: what's worse -- looking bad or smelling bad? Take the poll, or leave a comment. ;)
