How not to die from someone’s stinky breath

Who doesn’t know how disgusting stinky breath is? No sane person wants to be seated in a church pew, plane or bus and be subjected to someone with putrid remnants of last week’s supper in their mouth. I particularly loathe the stinky breath that does not originate from the mouth but comes from deep down the gut of a person, usually a hungry one who has not eaten in hours.

Some tips on what to do:

*      Adopt the pessimistic approach to human breath. (This means that you must always assume that the next person has stinky poisonous fumes in his mouth. Expecting the worst helps you to stay prepared)

*      Stay well away from people who flash yellow or brown teeth. What greater warning signal do you need? Snow white-Colgate advert white teeth can however be misleading (refer to the point above on the stink from the gut)

*      Always have a pack of strong mints with you and as a “friendly gesture,” offer some mints to these social misfits. Having a mint yourself will also assist you to dull your sense of smell.

*      Smearing some Vix on your nostrils (under the guise of a blocked nose) will also help your nose not to detect the vile stench.

*      It is debatable as to whether alerting someone who has smelly breath about their problem is an acceptable practice. It will all depend on how comfortable you are with that person.

*      If all fails, invest in a gas mask and claim that you have a breathing condition that forces you to wear the mask occasionally.

Happy breathing!
