    No too awfully far fetched, Burl. Body chemistry makes perfume smell slightly different on each person, and food could affect that body chemistry.

    OK. Maybe I read Ralph the wrong way.

    If not….ewww!

    You all know how food affects Ma…..um….you know, so any perfume would smell awful. But then again they all smell awful so how can they tell the difference?

    Chocolate cupcake could have a very positive effect? What ever, it will be a sugar based smell.

    I can’t imagine that any cologne would smell like anything other than roach spray on any of them!

    Ma waits until the Home has their broccoli sauerkraut soup night then goes for a visit. She knows she can get a rise out of Burl.

    In my area, perfume is a suitable substitute for bathing. It does smell different on the individual.Ralph, indeed. Buick too…..

    Nobody mentioned it smells good, just the inference that it smells. Keep in mind that we know they do not use deodorant nor do they shower daily, and they have a horrible diet, net result has to be bad. I imagine she buys Raaaaalph toilet water by the gallon at the Dollar Dump.

    We are presuming she is not lying about the cologne she is wearing, the Penny’s are known for exaggeration.

    If it varies with diet, it could actually be Ralph Lauren, and on her it would still smell like raaaaaaalph!

    I’m guessing they probably smell like limburger cheese all the time.

    I am surprised she didn’t go for the Tester kind like Burl did

    In my 20s I’d put (ahem, real) bagels under the broiler, toast, top with Limburger (sometimes Camembert) and broil until the cheese melted. This was but part of a larger at-home soiree…

    On the console stereo were two bottles of Beaujolais wine. From the console stereo came the sweet strains of free eight track tapes acquired as first issues of eight track of the month clubs (Cancel within thirty days with no obligation. The first tape is yours to keep free as our thanks.) In my brain were various miracle molecules. Uppers seemed more innocent then, pot more shady. It was a sensory delight. It made cleaning my apar less of a chore and more of a head rush.

    An older woman would slink by on occasion. I vaguely remember her name as Lazz or Badazz or something like that. She always brought the Lemon Pledge ;)

    LimBurlGer…

    It doesn’t take a P to spell Limburger but it does take a U!
