i understand that the smell of a fart is made by certain molecules reacting 
with the receptors in our noses, my question is: can these molecules 
be "smelled up"? can a person or persons (if you had a REALLY good friend) 
inhale all the offending molecules and therefore "smell up" a fart, very much 
teh same way a person way clean up a spill with a towel?
