Return of the Dragon

You know you've got some hot breath when you get suspended from work for it. And not just once. This is the third time.

So, what's the worst part of this story:

• that somewhere out there, someone can have breath so heinous that no mint on earth can contain it?
• that the guy's last name is "Seeman" and his union is "Local 32BJ"?
• or that he can get suspended from work twice and still not have the sense to keep his lips closed when people are walking by?

Something other than his breath is smelly here: he's been at he job for over 40 years and only recently suspended for bad breath. What has changed:his personal habits or the management company?

[Art Vandelay]

The union that represents Seeman, Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union, has filed a grievance in the case.

Damn! They couldn't wait until Festivus.

I don't know...isn't a doorman's job to greet people as well? This guy claims his job is just to open the door...not his mouth. That doesn't seem like he's being held to a very high standard.

I'm going with the second bullet as the best part of the story.

* that somewhere out there, someone can have breath so heinous that no mint on earth can contain it?

It's the beast!

* that the guy's last name is "Seeman" and his union is "Local 32BJ"?

Tried to be mature about this. Giggles won out...

* or that he can get suspended from work twice and still not have the sense to keep his lips closed when people are walking by?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the real worst part of this story is that he's not been to a damn dentist. Forget the mints. Forget not eating garlic dude. Go to a dentist. You have issues! Please. This is NYC not Odd, WV. Dentist. Now. Please. Thank you...

My college roommate always says that my morning breath has about a good 15 foot radius.

Tell that nasty sumbitch to stop chewing on his socks....

that the guy's last name is "Seeman" and his union is "Local 32BJ"?

That could go a long way toward explaining the bad breath.

Seriously, if your breath is so bad that you have been suspended from work multiple times, it might be a sign of a serious health problem. Dude needs to get checked out.

Also, this post has now made extremely self-conscious about my own breath.

I'll ponder a response over an anchovy and feta cheese slice from the Mellow Mushroom.

Morning breath should be exempt from criticism.

Look - I know breath can get to funk ass levels when you're not flossing or when you're sick or when you're drinking a lot of coffee or gargling with semen, etc., but when you're being sent home from work?

Get that ass to a doctor/dentist!

[Dr. Tim Whatley]

He can come by and see me anytime. Those union folk have great insurance.

Really, in a city like New York, which already doesn't have the reputation for being the rosiest smelling city on Earth, to get suspended multiple times for having cock suck breath so bad that people complain, means it's bad.

Peel the paint off a garbage truck bad.

Dude. Get some altoids and eat them all at once.

I have a friend who always has some nasty ass breath. I'd say 10 foot radius, pretty much all day. I don't think it would go away even if he sucked Gumbi's dick.

[Cozmo]

I know that Klompus will get a kick out of the fact that this guy's building is within a 10 block radius of the Cozmo homestead.

That said, I'm full-on in support of suspending a guy for halitosis. As Vandalay said, a doorman has to greet both you and your guests. If the guy's breath is kickin' he's got to go. Like the guy in my building who bathes in Stetson before his shift. Something's got to be said.

Get thee to Tim Whatley, Seeman.
