And now a few words of wisdom from Michael Leunig:

On the bus, the smell of doom hung heavily in the air. At the office, the smell of doom! In the coffee shop, everywhere he went, the unmistakable smell of doom.

Even at home, at the dinner table, the all-pervasive inescapable smell of doom. And in his bedroom too, the appalling, repulsive smell of doom and gloom.

Then he noticed it was stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
He had trodden in it!
