Nearly 12 Hours Later . . .

Still smelling nothing but smoke-encrusted old people. Nasty, foul-smelling beasts with yellow beards and nubby brown teeth. Had to sit next to two of them in a doctor's office this morning for 10 minutes . . . 11 hours later after two showers, a change of clothes and smelling everything in the house that might clear the scent including detergent, bleach, coffee, my two Dachshunds and some tea tree oil I cannot get the smell out of my nose. Food tastes like ash.

Open to any suggestions short of, "Go outside and shoot yourself."

Is it the "smoke-encrusted" or the "old" that you can't get rid of?

I can sympathize with you. I had to drive a co-worker's rig today. He's a HEAVY smoker. Nasty, nasty stench.

Did you change your tampon?

Patchouli oil should do it. Nastiest smell this side of pot-smoking hippie.

Just go change the transmission oil in the 911 or the 914. That will overwhelm the stinky cigarette smell. Heck just open the bottle on some Swepco tranny oil and you will be smoke free.

Sniff a corpse. Or anything dead and decomposing. That'll overpower anything and won't go away for days...

No I suppose it doesn't really SOLVE your problem per se but it'll at least be a different nasty smell.

Or you can use that nasal pot thing, change your tampon and then go kill yourself. Just warn me of you're going to cause I don't want to be downwind from your stinky-ass corpse.

What parts of the daschunds did you sniff exactly... And for how long?

I don't think that will work. You need to use douche to get sand out of your v-jay...
