When I was in high school, and still regularly attending the LDS church, I would often to go to activities with the other guys and girls my age at our ward building. Often the guys would play basketball. I was not any good at it, but I played from time to time.
One time after working up a really good sweat I went and sat on the piano bench up on the stage. My girlfriend at the time came up sitting by and embracing me from behind. I instantly became self concious of my smell.
I said something elegant like, "I stink."
To my surprise her reply was "You remind me of my grandfather".
Before I could think, I said, "Your grand father smells like BO?"
And she just cooly replied "sometimes".
I don't know what it is about that moment, but I think of her everytime I really stink now...

It's funny how smells can transport us to another time or place. There are smells that I have certain associations or memories with. I thinks it's grand.
I vividly remember that conversation.
