What're the odds of the Merc staff not smelling bad?

0% chance.

Yeah the hippies have finally banned soap and deodorant from city hall. Now you will be able to smell the cheap beer, hooch, retch of quicky sex, vomit, and farts after lunch unflitered by dakkor noir. Damn now I have a stiffy and have to wait to peddle home.

@Graham the Merc staff does not smell the bad when they have stuffy noses from colds or hayfever. Actually it smells a bit better since editorial staff moved downstairs behind closed doors.
