Between a stone and a hard place

17 Mar 2005 - Under General, Person of the day By Mandrake

As I am typing this, that big blister on the sole of my right foot is taking the attention the mild throbbing pain from the left ankle caused by gout. Strange that I seems to have blisters more nowadays.. and I am not supposed to puncture them..

This morning on the way to work, I had my earphones stuff into my ears and watching a tv program on my pda phone. Suddenly, I smell this strong presence that seems to come from behind me. An old man had boarded the bus and he is emitting this cologne that he wore. I think its one of those old style cologne that you can get at the neighbourhood shops. I am sure that if he had put on just a dash, the scent won’t be that overpowering and won’t be choking the people around him and forcing them to breathe through the mouth..

A while later, my saviour boarded the bus and sat in front of me. Its this guy who seems to be in constructions and seems to just knocked off and smells a bit sweaty. I know coz he tried to adjust the aircon by raising his hand and let the air runs down his t-shirt. Strangely, these two scents kind of cancelled out one another and so I went back to viewing my show.

    I suspect you have a fetish with smells.

    I would think that 2 bad smells equals to blanking out.
