It depends on the smell, and how much of it there is. You see if there are many molecules, the human nose will "pick up" more more quickly and thereofre will adjust faster.

You should have just shouted, at the top of your voice, "No Mr, I dont want to come & see your puppies". Might work. He might move, but he might not. Either way it would have been funny to see the reaction of other people.

Another thing learnt today! That's interesting.. is it true?!

It's hard to tell people those kinds of things! You can either say, "Oi.. you stink!", or stick through it..

How do you know it wasn't you?

The human nose adjusts to a smell in 3 minutes, so if you'd have put up with it that long you probably wouldn've have noticed after that.

But thats just science, you've got a jumper and all, I take your word on this.
