Trick question: what’s the difference between the smell of mold and the smell of mildew?

Answer: it doesn’t matter when it’s the first thing that hits your nose as you open the door of the hotel room you’ve just rented!  



I even asked the staff for a different room, I was informed that unfortunately due to the tropical weather, humidity lingers inside all of the rooms, so the only people who even notice the odors are those who arrive from outer climates. The local people have just become so accustomed to it that they don’t notice it as abnormal. Sure enough, the second and third rooms they allowed me to poke my head into had the same aroma.

  The open-air areas of the hotel, such as the lobby, the restaurant, etc, do not suffer that plight, only the rooms and meeting areas, because they remain closed up for more than half the day every day.

      I respect that you’re select in the way you choose who views or uses the kooze, you’re no flooz, I know that much for sure. You have your man, and we all know he’s not Ran-Ran, so it’s only in jest that I’d even suggest an attempt to add you to the rest, I know you‘d most likely scare ‘em over at the harem if they saw how much of a big heart you put into your relationship, it got you you moniker and they won’t dicker with that. It’s all in fun when I use a pun to joke about filling your oven with a bun, we both know that you’re not my type and I’m not yours. Anyone who says so is full of hype. Anywho, where were we? Oh, yes, I was sayin’ that it’s not you I’m layin’ nor am I tryin’, those are some fish and chips that I won’t be fryin’.

    No trick. There is no difference as they are different names for the same thing.

    I opened the door of my vehicle today and smelled mold. Weird you should mention it today especially.  I wonder if it means I'm gonna be homeless and use my car like a motel room.   :   (

      Shrug. Maybe it means that you and I will end up in some smelly old motel room together some day.

    Mold smells like sweaty balls and mildew smells like sweaty pits.
