does your pee normally smells good? do you normally smell your pee? do you have a pee fetish?

Ah! I wish. Apparently only 1/4 of the population has the gene that enables you to detect these molecules; sulfur-like compounds present in the vegetable. You don't have to bend over the toilet bowl to smell it, it gets in your nostrils. Smells like urine-boiled asparagus actually. Enjoy that image!
