Dwight Schrute: On a website it said at the crest of the labia. What does that mean? What does the female vagina look like?

Toby: Aren't the suggestions meant for you?
Michael Scott: Well... Toby, if you are inferring that I have B.O. then that would be a very poor choice of words.
Creed: Michael, he wasn't inferring, he was implying. You were inferring.
Michael Scott: Was I, Creed? Well, you know what I'm implying now is that when we're on an elevator together, I should maybe take the stairs, cause talk about stank. And that is something I never have done and I never will! I just think it's something we should be aware of! See! This is good! We're learning something here!
