ever wonder why homeless folks smell like pee?

i do. i've thought about it probably more than i should, actually. really, who does that? me.

i was walking to work thru kalakaua park in waikiki today and that old urine smell attacked my nostrils. there was a man dressed like a genie mumbling to the invisible person who'd rubbed his lamp in the park bench closest to me. as i approached him i assumed the odor was his, but as i passed by him the smell did not relent. i quickly took notice of the wind direction, and indeed he was not upwind from me. the culprit: a "person" on another bench stoking its hair. da shmell was hauna to da mostest.

so why do they smell like pee? here's what i came up with:
1. accumilation. an accumilation of trace amounts of pee over time that never get washed off. doesn't seem forensically likely.

2. laziness. too lazy to pull down their pants. eff it, i ain't tryna impress nobody, i'm peein' in my pants. possible, but probably a result of an underlying issue.

3. craziness. the underlying issue. no sense of decency. illogical behavior.

so after much thought, the conclusion i've come up with is that i'll never know why crazy people do what they do because their behavior is illogical. and i'm sure there are more than one reason why someone pees on themselves. like, "i had to. the guy who rubbed my lamp wished me to!"
