IT MIGHT BE UNDER YOUR NOSE

I love and use a story I heard
years ago, the source I do not
know or the author.
It had been a beautiful and fun
day, the annual family reunion.
After the crowd had left for home;
a couple of families were staying
overnight with grandpa and grandma.
Grandpa had retired to the bedroom
to escape cleanup duties and take a nap.
Two grandsons with an eye
for  mischievousness slipped some
Limburger cheese and went into grandpa's
bedroom and spread some in his mustache ;
soon grandpa aroused with a few curse
words relative to the smell. He went
into the hallway, kitchen, and living room
trying to find the origin of the smell;
announcing the smell was in each room.
He asked questions, stating that the
house smelled like a skunk. He still
couldn't find the sources. He stomped
out on the porch and yelled,
"The whole world stinks."
NO!
Like most who thinks life, people,
and the world stinks don't know
the answer might be right under
their nose. "Stinking Thinking."
Be sure to check self first.
