Down with stinky people

Sweaters, beware.

Gordon Y.K. Pang of the Honolulu Advertiser reports a proposal before city councilors would ban stinky people from buses, in the hopes of eradicating the plague of the malodorous before Honolulu builds its new rail line.

The measure would prohibit bringing "onto transit property odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system, whether such odors arise from one's person, clothes, articles, accompanying animal or any other source."

So far so good. What else?

"Some people, quite frankly, do not take a bath every day and therefore they may be offensive in terms of their odor," said a co-sponsor.

I'm on board. What's the catch?

Well, the bill would also prohibit being intoxicated on the bus. Isn't that kind of the point of public transportation?
