Cheers. I couldn't find a crazy ideas equivalent so I settled here as it is a sort of shower thought.

I much prefer this to when the pharmacists sniff at my butt at entry and then give advice on diet and nutritional supplements.

* Dog sniffs my butt then walks to one of those programmable phrase button mats * "Lose weight, fatso!"

"...who programmed that button?"

I guess you could think this while in a shower.

I don't listen to diet advice from my doctor, why would I listen to a dog?

Train them to point at ultra common smells, then scam the customer saying it means need to eat some ultra expensive supplement, but only today there's a buy two get one free promotion

Ripe for abuse like current advice based on personal genetics. There's so much malarkey already sold in the over-the-counter (non-prescription) pharmacy area of US stores, more scams would fit right in.

Better a sniff dog than an over-enthusiastic proctologist.

Colonoscopy was a walk in the park compared to the gastroscopy tube. That hard metal thingy made me feel like victim of the Alien.
