Woman apparently struck a match to conceal some B.O.

WOW.

People surprise me sometimes. I want to know what was going through her head when she thought that striking a match would help conceal her body odor. I mean, I guess burning the plane down would conceal it, but wouldn't there be a more people-friendly option?

SUPPOSEDLY, the fire would burn off the primary ingredient, methane, and one supposes, it would dissipate the odor much more quickly.

I wonder how bad a stinkie poo it was.

Tha match was a trick from my Dad's generation. Matches smelled really bad back then.

"Was that you?"

"No. It was this match!"
