"When you are where Stinks are, open your Mouth, and breath through, and you shall not smell it, nor receive prejudice by it."
Thomas Lupton, A Thousand Notable Things (1706 ed.)From the century that brought you the French and American Revolutions: a lesser-known revolution in Stinks management.
A related though more recent bit of folklore from my grandmother:
ReplyDeleteIf something smells bad, imagine a rose and you won't smell it." Though by "it" she is referring to the imagined rose, and not the original odor.
