Honululu is trying to get rid of offensive odor on public transportation

The Honululu, Hawaii city council is considering a bill that will make it illegal for public transportation riders with “odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system” to ride.  The bill proposes that if someone with an offensive smell does ride, that person…

“… may be ordered to leave transit property and issued a summons or citation by a police officer. If convicted, a person could be fined up to $500, spend up to six months in jail, or be both fined and jailed.”

Jail time for an offensive odor?!  Wow.

‘Bout time. Do that here.

I hope that will include people who wear too much perfume, cologne, or hair products. Sometimes they smell worse than the person who hasn’t bathed recently, or who reeks of tobacco or alcohol.

I am all for it! Let’s lobby the Oregon legislature… Aahhemmm…
