Lint Lover
Dear Emily
Why does my belly button have such a weird smell? Its both gross and intoxicating at the same time - a mixture of mold, poop and trash. Now all of these things would normally make me gag, but for some reason I can’t resist sniffing my lint. Do you think there is something wrong with me; both physically and mentally?
Sincerely,
Lint Lover
Dear Lint Lover,
While most people will confess to their unicorn diary that they positively adore the smell of their own farts, lint fetishists represent only a small percentage of the public. One of my friends in college had an obsession with his belly button lint. I’m not sure if he enjoyed the smell, but he cared enough to keep a collection of it in a jar. It was disgusting and so are you.
Wash your hands regularly and never tell anyone about this disturbing habit. Dutch ovening yourself is one thing, reveling in the smell of the stuff that hides in the tuck of your tummy is by far another.
Judgment!
Emily
