My wife's favourite joke (or at least from the selection of which I
actually find funny, don't ask about the highjacking cat :-):

Q.: Why do women wear makeup and perfume?
A.: Because they're ugly and they smell! (badoom, cha!)
[that's a bass drum and a high-hat for those without the optional
sound-effect extension :-]

Maybe in some cultures giving a present to make the recipient smell
better is taken as some kind of slur on how they smell now?
