[lbo-talk] Standard BM (who me?)

[Kelley]

yes, there is actually something called "Standard Bathroom Malodor" and it 
is produced by the USG as part of its non-lethal weapons development 
program. This particular, uh, effort was tested at the Foertan Proving 
Grounds, Crappo MD (NOT!!)

Seriously, I don't know where it was tested, but it's true, the USG has 
been working on odorous non-lethal weapons to disperse civilians.

"STandard Bathroom Malodor" is supposed to emulate the stench of a ripe 
public restroom. It was actually tested at Monell Chemical Senses Center. 
MCSC developed it as an odor against which to test their deodorants, air 
fresheners, odor neutralizers, etc.

this isn't the first time a "Who Me?" weapon has been developed. the US 
developed one and the French used it against German troops.
