Nolabear's asparagus thread reminded me of "my asparagus story".

.
.
.
I LOVE asparagus. For one reason or another, at one point, I hadn't eaten it for about a two-year
stretch or more. I got a pound of it on sale and devoured the entire thing for dinner one night
before going in to my third-shift job.
.
Eventually, I had to pee. I'm standing at the urinal (you're a DUDE!?!?!?) and this... ... ... smell
wafts up and HITS me in the face. I had forgotten about the smell and, I shit you not... for the
next 10-15 seconds, I was actually reviewing my recent sexual history.
.

I'm one of the people who LIKE the smell -- a green smell akin to a freshly-mown lawn for me.
.
Then again... I like a distant skunk-spray smell (key word being distant) and, of course... the smell
of really good pot.

Skipping the OP, I saw the following reply and wondered why this advice was being given to MFM about peeing after eating asparagus:

hedgehog
2. Sit upright as long as possible. Wrap an athletic bandage gently around
your head from chin, over ears, over top of head and back like in the old time cartoons of a toothache.

Now you have a nice pouch to slide ice packs in , alternating sides every 20-30 minutes.
