Odors

As a person who attempts to help the environment by riding on public transportation as often as possible I find that my own personal environment is polluted with those persons around me who seem to be totally unaware of private hygiene. That being said there is also the problem of those men and women who also give the words 'personal hygiene' a bad name because they like to see how much perfume they can wear. Or is because they stink so badly they need to over indulge themselves on perfume? I can also tell you that there is no truth to the rumour that women do not fart. I have personally witnessed this on a train into Amsterdam. Not only did this woman not apologize for her rather abrupt release of gas but she smiled as though a great pain of release had left her body. I wonder if people understand the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? I use something that has both. I suppose that using deodorant is the lesser of two evils but seeing someone with a huge wet spot underneath their armpits is not exactly wonderful either.
