Is the event related to transportation? Did you buy something at a tag sale? And it was cheap? But soon afterwards, it didn't work as well? And finally broke down? | ||

Was the source of the smell something solid? Something liquid? Something gaseous? (I realize that, as a smell, it's gaseous, but I'm talking about that from which the smell comes) Something biological (man, plant, animal)? Was it the smell that caused you the surprise and pleasure? Or was the smell only a side-effect? | ||

Did the deoderant break/leak? Which caused you to smell the good smell of the deoderant? But then you didn't have any deoderant? Which caused you to smell? | ||

Was the deodorant used as a makeshift flamethrower? Used with fire in any way? No (though I've been known to do that) Did it explode? No. Did the deoderant break/leak? Which caused you to smell the good smell of the deoderant? But then you didn't have any deoderant? Which caused you to smell? Got it! When waking up one morning at the dropzone, I was surprised and pleased that the air in my camper smelled completely fresh, without the usual hints of mold. Later that day I was annoyed when I discovered the reason for this; my glass deodorant bottle had shattered when I set down my bags the night before, and the contents had evaporated. The deodorant has a very mild citrus smell, and that smell had dispersed leaving an unidentifiable "fresh" smell in the air. Then I experienced the discomfort of not having a deodorant, until I went and bought me a new one. Thanks for playing! | ||
