Can you imagine the smell?
Don’t have to, I have extensive NY Subway experience. I wish I were kidding or exaggerating. The smell is second in offensiveness only to a rotting corpse.
I know that smell, I was once stationed at US Customs in San Francisco airport at the international terminal. This guy got off the plane dressed as a Taliban or someone in Africa garb. Fancy African dressed, the guy smelled like death. He was like 6 foot 6 and dressed well but the stink was insufferable.
Apparently his tribe viewed bathing as something bad, so they never cleaned them self, their stench was their strength.
I can't think of what it would be like to sit on an airplane near him. I've been around a few rotting corpses and they smelled better.
The airline gave him a bar of sop and a towel and said clean up or you are not getting on you connecting flight. My best guess is that he was heading to the US State Department.
