I've learnt a trick
I tell myself not to smell something and I cant. The only downside of this is that I sometimes forget to turn it back on again and food is just nutrition and nothing more. In my line of work its an advantage to sometimes be unable to smell...

Take Friday - I was handling a lot of very smelly puppies. I failed to realise until slightly too late that the feet were caked in shit. This meant that my shirt was fairly smelly within minutes. I didn't think it was so bad as I had "tuned it out" as per usual. Once lunchtime came and I sat down to enjoy my lunch I became overwhelmed with the smell of dogshit and only then did I work out that I might need to change my clothes.

Years ago I used to get involved with the process of removing retained placentae from the uteri of cattle. This is deeply unpleasant. They have usually rotted for a few days before someone is called in to remove them. Double gloves and lots of washing just don't quite get rid of the smell.

I could go on and on and on but I wont but I will say that my job is the best for "fart disguise"v as I really can 'blame it in the dog'. However, I'm pretty convinced that dog fart and human fart are able to be separated by the human nose.
