Here is a story:

When Andy was in college, his roommate Peter hates the smell of garlic while Andy likes it so much. One evening when Andy was having garlic as usual, Peter came in and said, Uh, my garlic! So that's where the stinky smell came from. Get out of here! Andy looked up and said, I had garlic every day and you didn't say anything, so why today? Maybe you've got a short fuse today. Garlic smells stink and tastes good and it can... Peter went out without listening to the next words. Um, I'm just beating a dead horse, Andy said to himself.
