Hmmm, can't comment on the family smell test, but I do know the opposite to be true. All my lover has to do to get me in the mood is sweat.

So when my teenage daughter yells, "This family stinks!," she's onto something? Better living through chemistry.

There is no connection between what people say (family stinks) and what people do (incest).

Ummmm, yeah. That makes sense. The reason I haven't slept with my sister is because of her scent. Pull out that crack pipe and keep on smokin'!
