This joke is based on two uses of the word smell.
Smell can be used to describe something that has a bad or unpleasant odour:
"This fish smells! When did you buy it? (= This fish smells awful! When did you buy it?)
"I don't want to sit next to Dad - he smells!"
"What's that awful smell? Someone open a window!"
Smell is also the verb we use for inhaling an odour through the nose:
"Smell my new perfume. What do think about it?"
"Police dogs have a very good sense of smell. They are trained to smell drugs and explosives."

In a TV reality show every boy had to select a girl for a task .Each boy selected his choice of girl but a girl wasn't selected by anyone.Thereafter the anchor of a show asked her" what happened girl".SHe said ," I got rejected "
I was thinkin' at that time could we use present perfect tense for this sentence?
AS you said it is concluded that it was a completed action in the past though in that situation it had just been happened.
