So I tried a little experiment at work tonite.

I work in a live music bar which is usually full of people who are either dressed up, or in some kind of 'fashionable' hip-ish state.

Subsequently, one is subjected to different smells -cologne, perfume, etc. Some more pronounced than othere.

Tonite, I tried something I've been thinking about for some time. Before going into work, I grabbed a piece of paper towel, and gave it a good blast of RAID. You know, the bug killer. Then I folded it up and put it into a sandwich bag, and then stuffed it all into my shirt pocket.

Probably because I never wear cologne or aftershave lotion, it didn't take long for people to notice.

"What's that cologne you're wearing?"

"Smells like summer"

"Is that Perry Ellis?"

""It's very familiar"

I let people guess for a while, and then told them that it was RAID.

"You've got to be shitting me!"

"Get the fuck outta here!!"

I took out the sandwich bag, but that really wasn't much proof. They weren't convinced…….

…………………………

Of course, walking around for an hour or so with a bag full of RAID fumes wasn't the smartest thing to do. Needless to say, I started feeling a little light headed.

Right now, I think I'm working towards a full blown migrane.

Naturally, it was worth it.
