What is that stench?

     With the new year I am trying to be a little more healthy, and with that I decided to start taking some supplements. Well I have this bad habit of putting them in my pocket in the morning and saving them for later in the day after I have eaten. (At the time it seemed like a good idea to not take the pills on an empty stomach)
     This morning I was getting dressed and I smelled something that smelled like fish. I tried to find where the smell was coming from, but I didn't put a lot of thought into it because Viddy has been eating more fish lately. As I drive to school I still get an occasional whiff of the smell, but I have no idea where it is coming from. It's not my shirt or sweater, and everything I have on has been recently washed. When I get to school and sit down the smell gets even stronger, so now I am determined to figure out where the smell is coming from.
     I smell my shirt, sweater, hair, armpits... nothing. Then I put my knee up to my nose and nearly throw up. I've determined that it's my pants that smell so bad, but I have no idea why. A friend at school suggests that maybe Viddy spilled something on them. My pants are black and I can't really see anything on them, so that doesn't help.
     By this point I don't have enough time to run back home to change so I just have to sit in class with fish smelly pants. We were talking about the structure of hair in class and then the teacher mentioned something about vitamins and minerals effecting your hair. Only then do I realize that I washed all my pills in my pocket when I did laundry, and among those pills was fish oil.
     Moral of the story: don't put your pills in your pocket. It might lead to a stinky mess later.
