Body odour (known also as the scent of the immortals) is a disgusting condition with an awful nauseating smell. It often affects social relationships and can delay life's major event: marriage. It disadvantages young men and women at job interviews or when they try to enlist, therefore inflicting much suffering and anguish. By using a new total treatment, we can instantly eradicate the odour with a rate of up to 97.53% success. For joy in life and future happiness, we welcome you to come and rid yourself of it....

About Me
- Greg
- This profile is written from my home of the last 6 months, a temple in South East Asia. I began travelling at age 15; 3 months hitchhiking and train-riding thru Europe. The bug bit early, and I've wandered and wondered through some interesting spaces since. Professionally, I hold an M.A. in psychology. I've managed EAP programs at two National Parks, created a mental health service in rural Alaska, and have worked for several community mental health centers. I've also staffed EVERY position in food and beverage, driven a snowcoach, and poured wine in a vineyard's tastingroom. I've worked on an ambulance crew, taught at the college level, and spent a year doing magic shows across America. I was a handyman at a buddhist retreat center, a recruiter for Yellowstone Park, and an assistant manager for Thrifty's Drugstore. I've dagged sheep in New Zealand, cooked in Australia, washed dishes in Ireland, and was a gardener in a Scottish monastary. One year I had 32 jobs (and the accompanying 32 W-2 forms). If success is measured monetarily, then I've blown it big-time. But so far so good, and when it's time to retire maybe I'll have to get a real job.
