you smell like heaven.....

So I'm pushing my cart out of SuperTarget (best store EVER) and as I get to my car and start to load my bags, the "cart-boy" comes over and tells me I smell like heaven. What?! For one thing, I was downwind. For another thing, I am at least 10 years older than him. I had to suppress a heartfelt gaufaw (sp?) and instead I thanked him and got in my car and laughed the whole way home.

Not bad for not having had a shower for 3 days!!

That sounds like something I would say...no wonder women laugh at me, then stare, then run. Explains why I'm single.

Serioulsy, don't under estimate the effect smell can have on a person. Certain smells take me back to vividly relive memories & experiences (one smell takes me back to a girl I dated in 8th grade, one smell takes me back to when I visited Africa, another one reminds me of air vents...). Every now and then, certain perfumes cause me to go mentally blank. I just sit there savoring the scent while feeling explosions in my mind and hearing symphonies. Certain senses grip people in certain ways and smell is one of them! When I dated a girl who lived in Texas, I would let her wear my clothes when I visited her and after I got home I loved wearing those clothes because I could smell her. It reminded me of her and was almost like having her there with me.

Way to much info & thought in that reply but it is interesting to think about how scents affect people.

I like to sniff my arms
