Senseless

I decided to deprive myself of smell for three hours. I took a pair of earplugs and plugged my nose (strange I know). My first reaction was "Wow it's very uncomfortable to breath through my mouth for very long." I also talked really weird for the duration. Smell is a sense that isn't used very often throughout the day. The first time I actually missed my smell was when Saturday night pizza came. It tasted like pizza, but it was very bland. The beer I had with my food was completely tasteless. One of the other uncomfortable side effects was that I couldn't breath while I was chewing. At the end of the experiment I felt like I expected all of the outcomes correctly.
