Asparagus question....

[Superfly]

What is it about asparagus that makes your urine smell like complete ass?

1. Genetics

Doesn't do that to me. My daughter did a science experiment on this, it is genetic. ;-)

When she gets home, I'll ask and either PM you or respond.

[Superfly]

What does it do? Destroy genes?

Inquiring minds want to know the result of that experiment!

6. Well, I'm no help

I just remember that she made all her immediate family tree eat asparagus and smell the urine. I don't remember the analysis part.

4. Or, the ability to smell it in urine is genetic...

...it's something about the sulpuric amino acids in asparagus that makes the urine smell.

2. trade off

all the yummy snacks make you fat.
All the best veggies make you fart too much, or make your piss reek.

Steam it.
Butter and salt it.
And live with the consequences.

3. Can you steam Pringles?

Or Ho-Hos?

11. But does it cause birth defects? Or temporary sterility?

Perhaps it causes temporary super-potency. If spinach can help popeye... what can asparagus do for those little swimmers??

12. I heard it was suppose to do something for men

involving improving flavor or something (that and pineapple I think) in other bodily fluids. ;)

13. Naughty Girl!!

Maybe all us gals who wind up with guys processing stinky food should like keep a bunch of spices and stuff on the nightstand!

You never know when you get dragged by your hair up to the boudoir with some anchovie=soaked barbarian eeeeuuuuwwww pass the Vick's vaporub.....(you can put it under your nose like CSI Miami!!)

14. If you need Vicks

Then I say play cards instead.

16. I hear you there!!! HAHAHA!!

Reminds me of an old biker saying (pardon the crudity...)

If it smells good, eat it.

If it don't, fuck it!!!

17. I don't get the Vicks thing either...

...for flavor anyway, but hey, whatever floats your boat! For me, if he's stinky, he needs a shower.
