Sweating With No Underwear On

My job is so cool. Today was wild. It was very normal for most of the morning until everything started smelling terrible all of the sudden. All was quiet for a bit and nobody was saying anything to each other and an overwhelming wave of sour, penetrating stink rolled it. We sat in its murky depths for maybe thirty seconds until one of the dudes I work with quietly asked, ,,Did one of you guys fart?,,

It was great because we were all thinking it. We all wanted to know who to congratulate for their otherworldly aroma. We wanted to find the culprit and give them the accolades that they deserved. Strangely though, the source of the stench was not any of our innards. What,s strange about that is that our office is pretty separate from everybody else. How could such a foul turd gust have made its way into our little home?

Somebody suggested that maybe it was the trash. I thought that somebody had snuck a baby into work and that it exploded with diarrhea. It was about that time that other people in the building started walking by us covering their faces. It was infecting everybody. We were all dead in a matter of minutes.

I still don,t know exactly what caused such a seismic shift in odor, but everybody in the building got hit with it. It lingered for about twenty minutes and then it was gone. All of the windows were opened and scented candles were distributed to those in need.

The most agreed upon rumor was that it just a standard dump that somebody had taken in one of the bathrooms. It was flushed and everything, but its long-lasting memory crawled out from the porcelain grave and grabbed everybody by the throats. I hope that,s what happened. I hope a single person, a tiny woman perhaps, emptied her bowels and expelled something so potently horrible that it upset an entire company. And people say that there are no real superheroes.
