ROFL! I haven't heard about asparagus pee in decades. Sorry, but I
don't sit around sniffing my urine, I just get up and flush the toilet.
Never noticed a smell after eating asparagus.

Curley parsley is good for decorating a plate but it does have flavour.
Flat leaf parsley is different. Tastes different from the curley.
