I guess I'm one of the "lucky" 22%. ;) Actually, since it's Asparagus Friday...... During the trials of "upgrading" my '81 to a WBX tranny, I spent WAY too many hours on my back, up against cold concrete. Eventually put a piece of wood between me and concrete, but too late. Caught a nasty chest bug of some kind. Kept on working of course. <grin> Along with bug came a TOTAL loss of sense of smell and taste. I could have easily gone camping and lived off asparagus, beans, beer, etc. But..... if there was a gas leak of any kind, I would NOT have noticed.
