The Sense of Taste

I was reading the Wikipedia article on Stevie Wonder, which notes that

[o]n August 6, 1973, just days after the release of Innervisions, Wonder was in a serious automobile accident while on tour, when a log from a truck went through a passenger window and struck him in the head. This left him in a coma for a while and resulted in a permanent loss of his sense of smell.

Struck by this unhappy irony, I read the passage aloud to the Enchantress.

Without missing a beat, she responded, "Bet he didn't see that coming."
