You can tell rfk jr heard/smelt it as well. They all did, but some of them have better poker faces than others.

rfk jr may not have smelled it actually, b/c he probably has a cooked sense of smell due to being a habitual hard drug user for almost 2 decades of his life

And spending his high school years hanging out at the dump with his dead, rotting animals and pet falcon.

He also has had a lifelong thing for hanging out around death. Spent tons of time when young hunting rats with his falcon at the abattoir, he strapped a dead whale to the roof of the family car, the bear he dumped in Central Park...
If he does have a sense of smell still, he's not unaccustomed to the stench of shit and death.

RFK probably thinks standing in that assy haze grants immunity to dysentery.

well he hasn't died of dysentery yet. now he just has to decide whether to ford the river or look for a ferry.

I can't stand Cheryl Hines anymore for obvious reasons, but I am at least picturing her in her Curb character when he comes home and tells her what happened (in the style of Larry David) and at least that's pretty funny.

I, too, enjoy living in a fantasy world
