Stinkiness Revisited

So remember how I posted last week sometime about how I was eating kippered snacks? Well, I’m usually pretty careful about throwing away the packaging in such a way as to prevent rank smells from permeating the apartment. So I put the container inside a zip lock bag, sealing it tightly and throw it into the rubbish can. Then I promptly take out the trash. Well this go around I spilled the tiniest amount of stinky fish goo on the counter and rather than use a paper towel, which is what a should have done, I used a dish rag to clean it up. Then I threw the dish rag into the dirty clothes bin and there it sat for several days while dirty clothes accumulated on top of it. Well, today at the office I changed into my workout clothes and took my sweat-towel and hit the gym. When I began sweating, I wiped my brow with my little towel and discovered that once the towel got damp, it stunk to high heaven of fish-stank. I also noticed that as my shirt and pants became moistened with my perspiration, they too smelled fishy. Then as I was showering I was dismayed to learn that my big towel had a decidedly fishy smell to it as well. I tried to drip dry as best I could. Luckily the clothes I wore to work today were not washed with the kippered snack towel. So tonight I’m going to have to go home and put all those freshly washed clothes back into the washing machine with lots of extra detergent and hope for the best. Good thing I hadn’t put them away yet so it’ll be easy to gather all of the nasally offensive articles together. I hate stinky things. No more kippered snacks for me.
