I just showed this to my wife and she just laughed out loud saying: 'No, he's the lucky one.' LOL
No, quite a number of years ago we were watching a programme about the differences in sense of smell in women and men and one of the scientists stated that in general, women have a 100x better sense in this area. Upon which I managed to produce the Freudian slip by saying: 'See, women are supposed to smell 100 times as good as you do.'
She just burst out laughing. But seriously, her sense of smell is quite bad, she often fails to even recognise when a tomcat has come into the house and given the kitchen a good old spraying. This in turn then leads to her not recognising flavours too well, after all, both senses are so intimately entwined. They did a test with noses clamped tightly shut and found that the majority of persons tested were unable to tell the difference between an onion and an apple. Only goes to show there might be something to it.
I on the other hand, I could get a job as 'sniffer dog' any day. My mother-in-law knows her way around most of the wild mushrooms in Germany and when we used to go gathering them, I would just poke my nose in the wind and point in a direction and sure enough, there would be a patch of them.
Same applies when we walk through the town where we now live. I can tell exactly who is growing weed inside their house and who isn't. If I wasn't in favour of decriminalising cannabis anyway, I would have offered my services to the local police a long time ago. LOL.
