[DUMBGRUNT]

Legend has it, that for some it does not stink!

[steve8714]

No, because I never eat the mushy Martian vegetable.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Only after I eat asparagus.

[1217Chic]

Yes all the time.....it’s nasty...

Can YOU smell asparagus in your urine? It's all down to your genes

As long as it isn't ON your jeans.

[pepsi_junkie]

My urine smells like rose petals and can cure cancer. Or is that Chuck Norris?

[Ray76]

Asparagus are disgusting.

[lee martell]

You can smell the sulphur or left over ammonia from certain foods, yes.

[blam]

Yup. I smell it strongly.

My yDNA is R1b and my mtDNA is 'V' haplogroup.

Some people are very smart

Some are quite good looking

Some have strong personal charisma

Some can smell asparagus...

[AppyPappy]

If I eat it raw, it is worse. And I see no reason to ever cook it.

[MNDude]

Do farts count?

[Billthedrill]

Oh, yeah. I love asparagus, too. I figure it’s an indication of a profound intellect and a godlike physique. Either that or it’s an indication I’ve been eating asparagus. Could go either way.

[DoodleDawg]

And just how much did this earth-shattering research cost the government?

[deweyfrank]

Yes, and almost immediately after I eat it. Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies.

[Mr. Douglas]

I don’t mean to brag, but my body turns everything ingested into energy and maintenance. I have no need for a bathroom.

Well, not since I drank that glass of antifreeze.

[Yo-Yo]

Some people are very smart

Some are quite good looking

Some have strong personal charisma

Some can smell asparagus...

And guess which gene I got stuck with...

[Don W]

I don’t know about asparagus, but I do know that within 2 hours I can tell if the chili I ate was from Hormel...

[Night Hides Not]

Yes, and almost immediately after I eat it. Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies.

Mine, too. Beets are another favorite veggie of mine, but they turn one's urine red. I've never eaten the two together, I can only imagine an unsuspecting person would scare themselves with the effluent from that combination! lol

I can laugh now, but I was quite worried when I ate beets as a teen with hypochondriac tendencies. I thought sure I was peeing blood...lol.

Today, when I get a pain on the left side of my chest, I know it's musculo-skeletal in nature. I see my doc every 3-4 months, so I'm good.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I heard the same thing about pineapple.
