\nDear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I bought a weirdly scented deodorant at Walgreens last week.\u00a0 It’s like a flowery, perfumey smell that mixes badly with my natural odor, and by 5 pm I’ve really got a funk about me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So yesterday, I threw the deodorant in the garbage, and went au natural.\u00a0 I’m a smallish woman and have a sedentary job, but it is the summer.\u00a0 This time by 5 pm I smelled like a European on a bus ride.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s worse: weird flower funk or hot human smell?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With Love,
\nA Receptionist<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear A Receptionist,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think hot human smell is was better than flower funk.\u00a0 However, as an American and a receptionist you have a responsibility to mask your body odor with deodorant.\u00a0 If your current deodorant doesn’t work, you must try another.\u00a0 If that one doesn’t work, another!\u00a0 And so on until you don’t smell like a European. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We don’t have a lot of bragging rights left right now.\u00a0 We’ve got Obama, freedom of speech, and a B.O. free public.\u00a0 Do your patriotic duty and freshen up your armpits, no matter what you have to go through to do so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n
