That’s ok Earl. Roscoe doesn’t care how you smell.

Good idea, Earl!

I’d better do that (bottling the smell) when working my tail off at the grocery store.

I used to work a blue-collar job. The smell of work meant that I showered pretty much first thing upon getting home. Then I got a sit down job and the smell of work pretty much went away… and I started showering before I went to work.

I guess Opal wanted to make sure Earl didn’t get that way being up to no good.

I used to work in a dog kennel. You wouldn’t want to smell me when I got off work. I didn’t want to smell myself!

And how exactly would Opal know about the smell of work?

When I worked at a restaurant as a cook if I didn’t take a shower after work , folks would tell me I smelled like a French fry :-)

I love the puppy .

Next on the list is bottled sweat.

Two thousand pounds of work? A lot is much bigger. Things have only been happening in “tons” since generation whatever took over the language.

I bought a house in PA with a toilet and sink in the basement. Out in the open, not in a separate room. They’re called “Pittsburgh Potties” and they were for guys who worked in the mills. Their wives made them come in through the basement and strip their filthy clothes off before being allowed upstairs to shower.To me it looked like a hostage setup.

I am surprised Earl did the work on the yard.

LOL! Just the smell of a wet dog….ewwww

My thoughts, it should be Banned.

Cologne Eau de Labor.

“What have you been doing?”

“Watching ‘The Usual Suspects’.”

“Hmm, yes, you do smell Spacey…” ☺

My father had a room he would sleep in when working graveyard shift. For years I could open the door a crack and tell if he was in there by the smell. Later in life, I could tell if he had been in there. I never knew if that was a peculiarity of working at the paper mill or of our personal biochemistry and microbiota. Sometimes I think I smell that smell again coming from me.

Could we please stop with the Far Side promo pop ups already?

It would also make you a billionaire. Think of how many husbands would pay for that scent!

When I worked in a pizza parlor, my hands would smell incredible..in a good way….from the meats we put on pizza.
