Honolulu wants people to smell artificial while riding the city buses.
Natural scents will not be welcome – unless you have deodorant up your butt.
City Council members Rod Tam and Nestor Garcia hope to pass a bill that will ban riders with “odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system, whether such odors arise from one’s person, clothes, articles accompanying animal or any other source.”
As Planet of the Chimps points out, it will take smell police to find the stinkers.
Inquiring minds are asking… would riders
- be expected to report the offense via a special “smell phone?”
- be required to rank the reek?
- Twitter the emitter?
- accuse the oozer?
- quench the stench (what about the French?)
By the way, have you been behind a bus lately?
This seems weird. Do the government gets paid by these deodorant companies.

@Felisha Wheeler: you may be onto something! It’s a conspiracy by Axe or Old Spice.

YUCK! I coudn’t do the “smell test” on these people. Banning people because of odor?? Is that called scentism? Odorism? Smellism? Seems like an odd thing for the government to be dealing with.

Of course I’d have to fart just before I got off at my stop.
