Damn straight.

We agree on that at least. *:)

My dad had about 10-12 bottles of Old Spice around the house. many
glass bottles still untapped.

And, they're mine!

Sounds like a bunch of Christmas presents to me!

In the 70's, I worked for an ad agency that handled the broadcast
advertising account of a large department store chain in this area,
Woodward & Lothrop. I was the account exec. There was lots of co-op
advertising money available from vendors, especially cosmetic vendors,
so we had weekly radio buys and sometimes weekly TV buys. The "buyers"
at the department store were always giving us samples of various
cosmetics and scents, including "stylish" scents for men. I gave the
cosmetics to my wife, and at first I would open the bottles of scents
for males, but they were so "fruity" in every sense of the word that I
stopped doing that. So, I'd go to the weekly ad planning meetings
wearing my usual Old Spice, and the "buyers" would always say, "Are you
wearing that gorilla scent again?"

"Gorilla scent" and "gorilla clothes" were how the snooty buyers
referred to scents and clothes for men that weren't in style, and the
guys who used those products were called - you guessed it - gorillas. I
was never in style, because I always wore traditional three button men's
suits with a vest. Always. But they were good suits, so the "buyers"
couldn't say much about them.

Of course, these "buyers" - the male ones, anyway - were of
indeterminate gender. Every one of them. :)

This does sound a tad bit homophobic.

I wish I had done everything there was to do in this world. But then
there'd be little to look forward to.

"fruity coloogne"

That's the way I'd describe most Avon products. Same scent,
different label.

Yeah, I asked my wife it she wanted me to wear GF or smelly cigar..
She went with the Flannel.
Seriously, a 40 dollar bottle will last a couple years for most guys
like me. Mabey more, but every time I put it on, my girls all stick
their wrists out for a hit. Hey John, Reg.. if you all want to try a
hit or two, send me an addy and I will put a pinch in a vial and send
it off...

Did you get my question with the picture of the bottle in it? Answer it and
let me know if that's the right stuff. I'd find it very hard to part with
my Brut though.
