One of my memories of my Grandpa Hummel is sitting in his house talking with him while he was taking off his shoes and socks. I don’t remember how the subject came up, but he was talking about how his feet don’t smell. Then he held out the sock he’d been wearing all day and told me to sniff it. I remember thinking he was crazy and being a little afraid, but doing it anyway. The sock smelled like laundry detergent… like it had just been washed. It was wondrous.
I don’t know what possessed me to do it, but yesterday when I removed my socks and shoes, I sniffed my sock. It smelled like laundry detergent. Amazing! I have Grandpa Hummel’s feet! I will be running a series of tests to see how this newly-discovered superpower of mine works. Will it function with any shoe? Will it function under exertion? It will be fascinating to find out. And how will this new power mesh with my previously-known power to make dogs rowdy and make them misbehave?
HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a totally bizarre post! I really missed this craziness!
But I think what you really have is Grandpa Hummel’s nose.
Peggy!!! It’s so nice to see your name back in the right han dbar :D! I missed you!
Oh, and I have Grandpa Hummel’s feet, too. I know for certain, because I have Dad’s nose.
(I guess besides getting used to the time zone, I have to get used to making sense again too. I meant in my comment that probably neither Grandpa Hummel or Brad’s nose works …. the socks probably smell awlful, but that just can’t tell.)
I knew what you meant…that’s why I wrote about Dad’s nose. We have supersensitive olfactory processes. I can smell even the most faint of odors…so can Dad…
That’s how I know that Grandpa Hummels’, Brad’s and my feet really don’t smell. It’s amazing. Probably to the point of unbelieveable, but true. Amazing :)!
You make sense – have no fear!
I knew what you meant too…
…. and apparently neither of them work.
I forgot to say Welcome Back, Peggy! We missed your funny on this site. 🙂
Y’know, this kind of post really hurts my feelings. My socks would smell like laundry detergent,too, if laundry detergent smelled like wet garbage.
While it might be hard to make your detergent smell like wet garbage, it should be pretty easy to make your laundry smell like it. And at that point, does it really matter if the odor comes the laundry or detergent? 😉
Oh, if only my oldest son had that superpower! His super smelly feet force us to open car windows on the ride home from school after his practices, regardless of the cold temps outside. It’s beyond sad.
I hate you for your superpower Brad Royuk. I hate you!
BTW: I have Grandma Lewis’ armpits … they don’t smell … and I don’t think having my sweat glands removed has anything to do with it.
I, for one, would be interested in hearing how you would go about testing that question. My own suggests include:
1) Having someone remind you of your last 3 trips to the dump.
2) Have someone ask you if you know what your tax money is used for.
Blood… pressure… rising…
Head… pounding…
Stomach… churning…
GHAAAAAAA!
(excuse me while I sniff my socks)
HA!! And how were they?
3) Wear the same pair for a week or a month & than do the test again?
