http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asparagus
"The effect of eating asparagus on one's urine has long been known. Marcel Proust claimed that asparagus "...transforms my chamber-pot into a flask of perfume." Certain constituents of asparagus are metabolized giving urine a distinctive smell due to various sulfur-containing degradation products, including various thiols, thioesters, and ammonia.[16] Derivatives of asparagusic acid are also found in urine. The speed of onset of urine smell has been estimated to occur within 15-30 minutes of ingestion.[17] All individuals produce the odorous compounds after eating asparagus, but only about 40% of the population have the autosomal genes required to smell them.[18][19][20]"

Gee I would hope urine!!! If it smells like asparagus, I would say to cut back on your asparagus intake....Well, actually I would say: "Why are you smelling your urine? Don't you need to get out more buddy? Forget the asparagus fetish! Let's go see a movie!" Smile...I understand your curiosity, but really, let me take you out to a movie! Smile...
