A Manhattan doorman, Jonah Seeman, who has been ushering tenants into a four-building complex for 40 years, was told not to come to work recently because of halitosis.
The Brooklyn resident, who supports his 81-year-old mother, has been suspended twice before for bad breath. Apartment dwellers at the Gracie Gardens complex expressed surprise over Seeman's suspension and came to his defense.
"His job, which he does well, is opening the door — not to be opening his mouth," said Adam Reingold.
Officials with Cooper Square Realty, the management company that oversees the property, did
not return calls seeking comments. But the company sent the doorman a letter dated Nov. 21, stating: "We can no longer tolerate the fact that you have severe breath odor while on duty."

What do the brain donors who live in this building think causes bad breath?
It comes from having BAD TEETH!
And bad teeth come from Growing up Poor in a country that doesn't that doesn't provide universal health care to all its people.
JEEZ-us Rich people are truly metal couch potatoes.
