LOL There was a temp employee who always had really bad BO. I suspect
he simply never bothered to take showers. It was like sitting next to
'Pigpen' from the old Charlie Brown cartoon.

I felt sorry for my supervisor because she had to address this issue
with him. She was embarrassed. Nothing much changed, so after another
week she told the temp agency not to send him back.
