Fortunately for all, my looks are often described as 'stunning,' 'dashing,' occasionally 'inspiring,' and once, 'angelic.' I've turned down numerous offers to model, one from Playgirl and another from Blueboy.
Mind you, I take no credit for any of this. But, rest assured you'd have no problem working around me, at least in that regard.
Should you be forced to wear a large bag covering you from head to foot?
Well, if I needed one, I'd see a plastic surgeon first. I would expect, given the severity, that my health insurance would foot the entire bill. If not, I might strike a deal with my co-workers, proposing: "If you all chip in to pay for my nose and face job, you won't have to look at my ugly mug anymore. "
After all, personal rights stop at my eye sight distance.
Well, let's get serious:
1.Sight is virtually infinite in extent, smell, or allergic responses require proximity.
2. I would deserve no blame for being 'butt ugly,' for the same reason that I deserve no credit for being so gorgeous.
3. In the case of the pigs slathered with obnoxious 'eau de goldenrod,' or whatever, the case is with someone who putting something on to disguise or cover or augment what nature gave them, and a reasonable request not to. Demanding I wear a bag because of another's objection to what nature endowed, is a form of restraint, the sort of thing they do in Iran.
4. The woman has a medical condition that does not improve with exposure; once sensitized to an allergen, the body does not desensitize. Allergies are curious, but believe me, they are real. Now, on the other hand, you can grow accustomed to ugly things and people. You can even come to love them. Take my dog, for example...
These cases are not even remotely analogous.
As Rush likes to say I have used an absurd example to expose an absurdity. Where does one draw the line? Should an entire facility have to change for one person? I don’t think so. One person’s reasonable accomodation is another’s oppression.
I don’t like stinky people of any odor, but this type situation is, once again, allowing one person to dictate their needs/desires/wants to everyone else. That’s what I have a problem with.
I appreciate your humor.
