The Curious Case of Jansen Button

May 14, 2010

I walk into Dunn Brothers before work this morning and there is a tall barista who I have never seen before. The hulking Barista looks surprised:

Hulk: “Wow! You smell great! What are you wearing?”
Me: “Oh thanks, it’s Abercrombie.”
Hulk: “Is it Fierce?”
Me: “Why yes, it is fierce.”
Hulk: “I like it! I just wish they would bring back the original Abercrombie scent, you know, the one from when we were both in high school!”
Me: “Uh, when were you in high school?”
Hulk: “Mid to late 90’s…”
Me: “I’m not that old.”

My Perfume Bomb

October 16, 2009

The room for my Conflicts class always smells like snot.

So I am sitting in this snot-scented room 10 minutes before class. No one else is in the room yet.

The snot smell becomes oppressive, and I decide it is time for a freshness update. And gasp! Surprise, surprise! There is a can of Axe in my bag!

So I spray the Axe.
A minute later Jill walks in.

She puts her stuff down in the back of the room and then starts hacking. I turn around and Jill is running out of the room.

Jill: “Do you TASTE that?”
Me: “What?”
Jill: “Sorry.” (HACK) “Someone released a perfume bomb back there!”

Woops.
