I was lecturing recently, and one of my stops was Flagstaff, Arizona, which is about seven thousand miles above sea level. As soon as I got out of the plane, I smelled something peculiar. “What’s that smell?” I asked the man who met me at the plane. “I don’t smell anything,” he replied. “There’s definitely an odor that I’m not familiar with,” I said. “Oh, you must be talking about the fresh air. A lot of people come out here who have never smelled fresh air before.” “What’s it supposed to do?” I asked suspiciously. “Nothing. You just breathe it like any other kind of air. It’s supposed to be good for your lungs.” “I’ve heard that story before,” I said. “How come if it’s air, my eyes aren’t itching and watering?” “Your eyes don’t water with fresh air. That’s the advantage of it. Saves you a lot in paper tissues.” We drove in silence. About fifteen minutes later he asked, “How do you feel now?” “Okay, I guess, but I miss sneezing.” “We don’t sneeze too much here,” the man admitted. “Do they sneeze a lot where you come from?” “All the time. There are some days when that’s all you do.” “Do you enjoy it?” “Not necessarily, but if you don’t sneeze, you’ll die.” The fresh air was making me feel dizzy. “Isn’t there a diesel bus around here that I could breathe into for a couple of hours?” “Not at this time of day. I might be able to find a truck for you.” We found a truck driver, and slipped him a five-dollar bill, and he let me put my head near his exhaust pipe for a half hour. I was immediately revived and able to give my speech. Nobody was as happy to leave Flagstaff as I was. My next stop was Los Angeles, and when I got off the plane, I took one big deep breath of the smog-filled air, my eyes started to water, I began to sneeze, and I felt like a new man again.
