Is it more courteous to tell them that they stink or just hold your nose and say peeee-ewww? Or perhaps avoid public gatherings?

Perhaps tell an usher so he can deliver the bad news? I think writing it here is the best way. They will read it and change their ways. It has only happened to me twice in my eight years here in The Villages, so for me it isn't a common or reocurring problem.

CFrance. Wearing too much perfume is what my grandmother called a French bath.
Ha ha! Thankfully, deodorant has become popular in Western Europe (phew!).
