Dave R,
Thats pretty funny. God forbid if you ever do have a gas fume problem you can stay alert long enough to do something about it. (Just kidding)
Reminds me of a time at work when a coworker asked me if a jug was distilled or tap water in the lab. I took a "nice long pull" so I could detect the chlorine that would be in the tap variety. Turns out it was a jug of Hydrochloric acid and I nearly hit the floor. Lost my sense of smell for about 2 years. The guy who asked me still laughs hysterically when he describes the story.
Be careful what you smell for, you might find it.
