A very old way of how the US government checks meat. They would use rods to poke the meat and sniff the rod to see if the meat had bacteria. If the meat smelled bad, then it would be "dirty" and wouldn't pass inspection. This was a pretty bad way to check, cause the inspectors wouldn't wash the rods. That spreads bacteria from the bad meat to the good meat faster than covid ever will. This method was used until around the 1990s.
History teacher: What method did inspectors of meat from the government do during the 1900s?
Student: A rod to poke and sniff the meat for bacteria.

After an intense work out a heavy set person pokes into there belly button for lent only to find that a odor has built up that smells like 65 year old dingle berries from a wild sheep dog and microwaved garbage and intentionally puts said finger to a friends nose and ask him to smells, unaware to the friend of the odor he sniffs and in disguised by the raunchiness of his friends finger which in turns makes his nasal passages wither and die.
HEAVEY SET MAN: Hey dude that was an intense work out!! (all the while poking his belly button), hey bro smell my finger!!!

UNAWARE FRIEND: Alright dude, (smells finger) DUDE what the hell, that smells like 65 year old dingle berries from a wild sheep dog and microwaved garbage!!!!
