    Chemistry's brilliant!

    Note the imaginative names for smelly compounds;

    "Who-Me?"
    Five ingredients are used to make this sulfur-based chemical, which smells of rotting carcasses. "Who-Me?" was developed during World War II so that French resistance fighters could humiliate German soldiers by making them stink.
    Excellent!

    Inhalation can cause nausea, headaches, lack of coordination, as well as kidney and liver damage.
    Ah, I see they've found my washing basket again...

      Well it's worth it, we need to save the planet.
      Why save the planet. It won't survive forever anyway. Once the sun goes super nova, it's the end.

        I have a pair of trainers that pong so much that Lady Tester’s banned me from putting them in the washing machine; last time I did that, we had to run the washing machine empty a couple of times before washing anything else. Trouble is, they’re perfect training shoes for me and I can’t find the same type in the shops any more. They also ensure that I'm left in peace when I use the rowing machine or the weights at the local gym.

        I’ve resorted to washing them outdoors in a bucket of water with bathroom cleaner and hanging them outside to dry.

        I think it's something to do with the body releasing ketones while training combined with stepping in dogtulip on the rugby pitch.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          Yes, there is something odd about the interaction between feet, socks, sweat and shoes. I had a pair of trainers that evolved into the same offensive genus of creature that you have just described. Spraying deodorant and talc into them seemed to accelerate the mutation further until I was forced to exorcise them. In a bin. Far, far away.

            There was a time, back in my twenties, that I was provided with training shoes by the club sponsors; whenever they started to pong I just phoned the sponsors and within 24 hours a chap in a van arrived with a new pair and I hacked up the old ones in a garden shredder and threw them on the compost heap. This might be a little disconcerting for anyone who ate home grown spuds at my place in the 1990s.

              I found that scrubbing my feet with a stiff brush and soap, changing socks after any exercise and not wearing shoes in the house got rid of all foot odour problems.

              A quick rub with some shower gel wasn't enough. Sprays, talcs and the rest just mask the symptom rather than going after the problem

                I find pissing on my feet in the shower effective.

                Obviously you wash them afterwards.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  On that basis, since you will die anyway, why don't you top yourself now and save us having to read your utter cock.

                    Oh that would explain why some front row forwards piss on other people's feet in the shower. There was me thinking they're just uneducated human predecessors when they're actually trying to offer a hygiene service.
