Worse Than Garlic

This evening, a man who smelled like a garlic bagel boarded the train and sat in the seat next to me. - I'm not making this up. That's exactly how he smelled, and the odor was quite strong. It was very unpleasant, and I considered changing seats.

 Two minutes later, the man suddenly stood up and walked to the next car. 

 In reflecting upon his unexpected departure, I had to grapple with an uncomfortable truth. This man reeked of garlic, but it's possible that I smelled even worse.
