And Would It Have Killed Him to Run a Comb through His Hair? Sorry: I Was Channeling His Mother
Turns out something may be more offensive than body odor: trying to eliminate the smell by grabbing a stick of deodorant at a store, applying it, then putting the stick back on the shelf.
Police say that's what Timothy Boggs did at an Anderson Township Kroger on Thursday. Boggs’s effort to freshen up resulted in his arrest, a night in jail and a guilty plea.
Boggs, 19, of Anderson Township, appeared in court today, where what had been a theft charge — of $3.79, the cost of the deodorant — was reduced to a charge of unauthorized use of property.
Boggs pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the night he'd already spent in jail.
Because if there's one place you want to show up smelling daisy-fresh, it's jail. I hope he was able to sample the lubes before he was taken away.

I'm here to offer the opinion that lacking deodorant is not his biggest problem.
No, it isn't.
But I wanted to be encouraging, so I ignored the other stuff and cheered him, thinking he needs to walk before he can run and I should help him as best I can to get on with the journey of a million faults. So I clapped wildly and cooed when he made what is clearly only a baby step.
