Maybe the other gender really IS made of slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails... I am ever amazed at how stinky the hallways are outside men's restrooms on our floor and on the 3rd floor (can't speak for others - these are the two I have to pass on a regular basis). Also I know when I was little, using the bathroom after a No. 2 visit by either of my parents was no fun endeavor, but following Dad was always exponentially worse than following Mom. There's also the mind-boggling fact (discussed at some length one day by my Cleveland book club group back in 2001) that while Hershey stripes are an occasional occurrence in our world, for men this seems to be more like the default undies status.
Granted these are isolated examples and I'm not a scientist nor have I conducted a universal study, yet I feel I can speak with impunity when I say that boys really are inherently ickier; not to deny that women have this potential, you understand, we just don't tend to exercise it as consistently I think.
Anyway definitely quite glad my office is situated where it is. I doubt if David (office inhabitant right across the hall from the men's) even notices...? Which I guess is as it should be.
BTW Sam's chin is already totally cruddy again.
I hereby at once rest my case and posit that male ickiness is non-species-specific.

yup. it's hormonal protein or something. . .
and, men have no olfactory senses.
or, if they do, they admit freely that they don't care what things smell like. or if things are clean. or themselves.
the ones who do tend to be henpecked or gay. . .
some exceptions. maybe tends to follow eastern culture/genetics.
