Oh so true...oh so true.
The main problem with garlic is that if you eat it, it kills your social like, you can't go near anybody, because people a block away will be able to tell that you ate garlic.
Not to mention that it gives me WMD-grade gas. I'm serious. I privately popped one off in my office one day and it caused a visitor who came in five full minutes later to flee the room in mortal terror.
Someone told me that if you light a match right afterwards, it uses up the methane and takes away the smell.
She used it that idea a lot, because her dog was prone to releasing "unwanted gases", but it should work for people too.
