I guess I'm one of the "lucky" 22%.    ;)

Actually, since it's Asparagus Friday......

During the trials of "upgrading" my '81 to a WBX tranny, I spent WAY
too many hours on my back, up against cold concrete. Eventually put a
piece of wood between me and concrete, but too late. Caught a nasty
chest bug of some kind. Kept on working of course. <grin> Along with
bug came a TOTAL loss of sense of smell and taste. I could have easily
gone camping and lived off asparagus, beans, beer, etc. But..... if
there was a gas leak of any kind, I would NOT have noticed.
