I just have to weigh in with my old saw.
When I first met my future wife, I told her that software engineers
frequently suffered from a condition that caused their eyes to smell
bad from all the long hours of staring at a tube. It was the result
of using eye drops when your eyes got tired and red from staring at
the tube and that the eye drops themselves were the cause of the bad
smell. The condition was called Eye Oder, or I/O for short :-)
A few days later I found out that she had stopped using eye drops
herself (I didn't think she even used it) because she didn't want to
offend my olefactory senses. When I told her that I had made the
whole thing up, she realized what a world class liar I am. It was
tough explaining it to her because I was rolling on the floor
laughing so hard.
