The traditional saying, "Fish and company stink after three days" refers to the dislike of the two. Most people wouldn't want fish lying around after three days, as it becomes unwelcoming. (Because of the smell.) The term is applied to 'company' or 'visitors' because most people don't want visitors that long. Visitors start to become fish like because of their overdue stay. However, the smell has nothing to do with the visitors unless they weren't provided with showers. :)
Benjamin Franklin made the saying. :)
