The new carpet, eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
that reminded me of one real vomit-inducing one: New Car. there's just something about the new car smell that gives me instant travel sickness and an instant headache. why on earth do people buy new cars when the smell is so utterly disgusting? it takes years of airing for that foul odour to go away.
on a recent visit to oxford i experienced an unfortunate reminder of a combination which is even worse than BO And Deodorant. it's Professor And Mothball

it's a smell that takes decades to ferment, in an airless cupboard, as the chemicals in the mothballs slowly react with the living biological ecosystem contained in the never-ever-been-washed armpit of the professors jacket. the result is unmistakable, and certainly unbreathable!
