Why is it that the air freshener at work, which claims to be scented of meadows and rain, smells EXACTLY like my body wash, which is Mangosomething?

And Mangosomething smells like
an aging white woman who stealth smokes from dawn to dusk and tries to hide the
aroma with breath mints, lotion and perfume.

Yeah, just about right. (My apologies to Carol Channing, whom I actually like, but who looks like she might smell like my body wash.)
Bless my heart but that was shocking. Carol Channing has large teeth and that's not bad, but it startled me. Wouldn't you hate to get a saw mill cursing from her? It would be a cursing indeed.

So you have thoughts of Carol Channing in your shower? Maybe you should stretch out on my sofa and tell me about your childhood....
A sure cure for the Channing blues is to have Chas scrub your soapy back twice a day.
The cure doesn't do a thing for me, but then I'm not thinking about Channing, I've got other daydreams. Seems there's this young blond laying on my sofa and......

Carol Channing would be nothing without those glasses. NOTHING.

Ohmigod. I worked with Carol Channing once. She is a piece of work!!
Dang!!!
FWIW I am an aging white woman (OK - 54, is that old?) and I like french olive oil soap scented with lemon verbena.

It's a HA-YUGE freakin' bottle, and I'm CHEAP, Jason.
Plus? I used to do a great Carol Channing impersonation as a child. Yes, I've been a gay man since birth, trapped in an aging white woman's body.
Which smells of cigarettes. And something vaguely mango-ish.

But then why do you use Mangosomething? Do you LIKE smelling like an aging white woman who stealth smokes from dawn to dusk and tries to hide the aroma with breath mints, lotion and perfume? Or ARE you an aging white woman who stealth smokes from dawn to dusk and tries to hide the aroma with breath mints, lotion and perfume?
Somehow, that wasn't the impression I had gotten of you. But I guess I could be wrong...

Wow...That was a closer-up shot of Carol Channing than I needed at this late hour! *lol* If I have strange dreams about Carol Channing and mangos tonight I'm blaming you.

I think Carol is HAWT.
Smell on.

I spend the better part of each day hiding behind gum, perfume and breath mints. The technical term for this is So Damn Lazy Won't Even Take a Shower.
I'm currently on medication for it, but so far it hasn't kicked in.

What scares me is when I smell old lady and realize it's me. Time to change the bodywash.

In answer to the question in the title - I put her there. Hope that helps! Okay, with that out of the way...
See, I was thinking Carol Channing might smell like embalming fluid, whiskey, Oil of Olay and desperation...you know, the normal smells of fighting off old age with a tenacity that is unholy. I'm kind of hoping that's not AT ALL what your body wash smells, or I'll have to reconsider my plan to stalk you. I mean, a stalker can only be asked to stand so much.

If I didn't know better, I would swear that Carol Channing's mouth is photoshopped!!
You don't like the smell of old woman?
