Family Kicked Out of Museum for Body Odor

By Robert Paul Reyes  

"Guards told a family visiting a Paris museum they had to leave because people were complaining about their smell, news sources reported.

The couple and a young child were on a free trip to the Musee d'Orsay with a charity that supports struggling families, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported."

The French have a reputation for having very poor personal hygiene; many French people go days without taking a bath.
I'm pleased to discover that at least at the Musee d'Orsay visitors are expected to maintain a certain level of personal hygiene.

The offending couple and young child were given the tickets to attend the museum by a charity that supports poor families.

Shame on the charity for not giving toothpaste, deodorants, and soap to the struggling family before they dispatched them to a prestigious museum where they would mix with regular folks.

In the United States many normal people don't patronize libraries; these public places are a magnet for the homeless seeking refuge from inclement weather. These homeless folks reek of urine and feces, and unfortunately librarians can't kick them out for fear they will be sued.

All I'm asking for is a little common sense; nobody should be allowed to enter any public building if he smells like a portable restroom.
