If a scientist came to me asking for funding to research on bodily odor (which has happened, if memory serves me well) I would be baffled by the request but I wouldn't outright deny it.

Sweaty arm pits. Stinky feet. Bad breath. Farts.

The lab would have to be declared a bio hazard area by itself. Too good to miss out. Just the chance to see someone trying to keep a straight face while taking in some of these fine bouquet of rancid would be too good to miss.

Imagine watching the footage of a day of work.
