The Sense of Smell: Up Close and Personal

The sense of smell is a very personal experience, much more so than sight or hearing certainly. What do I mean? Take the following examples:

Hey Frank, that's a nice shirt! You look good today. See? That's fairly non-threatening, especially from a woman but even from another guy. How about this:

Hey Frank - well said! You voice sounds great! Again, non-threatening, if a little more unusual. But take this example:

Hey Frank, I couldn't help but noticing that you smell really nice today. Now that might be a little too much even from a woman. Frank doesn't have his personal space - in this example, Jimbo is standing a little too close. But how about this one:

Hey Frank, how do you do it? Your hands are always so soft and smooth! Now that's a way to make a guy frantically recover his paw and vigorously rub it against his Levis.

I'd throw out some examples on the sense of taste, but this site has a little class thank you very much (and don't mention the 'Naked Boobies' post).
