Henry Kissinger is a remarkably flatulent individual. When he was U.S. Secretary of State he had to wear special underwear that contained both sound baffles and odor-absorbent panels so that he would not commit any diplomatic faux-pas during high-level meetings with officials from foreign governments. He was not entirely successful. Recently released documents from the former Soviet Archives reveal that during a 1975 meeting a Russian diplomat had to pretend that there were sewage problems in the building in an attempt to explain away the "hideous odors" associated with Kissinger. Kissinger had a cold at the time and didn't realize that his odor panels weren't working.
