How come behind your ears smell so funny if you forget to wash back there one day?

Question

It's weird. Same like belly-button lint...lol

Answer 1

hahahahahaha when i was much younger my friend sd, "hey how come behind my ear stinks so bad?" I guess that's why in all the old books.....they ask the kids did you wash behind your ears.

Answer 2

Its because you keep rubbing your belly button lint all over your ears...if you'd just stop doing that it'd smell like petunias back there.

Answer 3

For the same reason your butt smells funny if you don't wash it every day - dirt and dead skin build up in the dark corners of the surface of the human body (that's why you must clean there every day)

in the journey that they WASHED at the back of their ears it does not scent. a lot of oils and stuff in our scalp and ears and in the back of our ears, so once you do not wash you get that "humorous scent". putrid.
