The British have decided that B.O. (body odor) is a no-go in their theme parks. Apparently, there were too many icky smelling guests stinking up the park. Thorpe Park now has a rule called, "Say no to B.O." Anytime the temperature reaches 77 degrees F or higher, park goers are not allowed to raise their arms on the rides.
Another British theme park, Alton Towers, banned Speedos. They decided that this particular swimwear was not family friendly and possibly even frightening to kids.
You can check out the article at Gadling.com: Smelly theme park guests told to keep their arms down.
The post author at Gadling.com has labeled these new rules "silly."
Silly? I beg to differ. Try "Brilliant!"
Unless your B.O. smells like daisies and cupcakes, I don't want a whiff. If showering and using deodorant are not a part of your daily routine then you need to steer clear of the public especially when the public is congregating on a hot day and sweating is inevitable.
It does kind of stink (no pun intended) that those of us who do smell just fine and dandy can't raise our arms. Really, though, I'm willing to make the sacrifice to save my up-chuck reflex when the person in front of me on the roller coaster smells like a gym locker.
Then we have the Speedo rule.
What more do you need to prove that this rule is absolutely necessary.

This was absolutely hysterical and I totally agree with both of the new rules!
I cannot stand B.O. or speedos. I think the rules are great!
Haha yes we need those rules here too.
Ew. Speedos are so icky. I remember seeing my best friend's dad in one in the Bahamas and it scarred me for life. I can still see it in my head... Eek.
BO is a total no-no, so I definitely think its a GREAT idea!
And, uh, whats up with the huge cross, dude?
I agree!!!!
Just say no to speedo's and body odor.
I really wish these rules were in effect the last time I went to Disney World. It would have been so nice.
lol...omg, my eyes. Why? Why are they wearing those?
And I totally agree with you. It's so awful when someone is next to you & they smell of BO. I have this thing where if cant stand someones odor I'll snuggle into my husbands chest, like I'm hugging him, but I'm really just taking huge deep breaths into his chest so I dont gag.
So gross.
That speedo rule should have been enforced years ago!
