During a routine medical exam, she told the physician about the disembodied voice that she often heard. The doctor thought he could hear some murmurings too. He poked through her hair and discovered a previously overlooked vestigial twin. See illustration above.
When electronic readers first appeared in the bookstore where I worked, some of the customers who came to enjoy them most were the very ones who, upon first encounter, presented a variety of reasons why they hated the whole idea of such a device.
In talking to them about features they might actually enjoy, I responded as well as I could to the slate of objections… which were always the same half dozen or so, over and over. I tried to make jokes about the subject so I wouldn’t come across as arguing about the matter.
One of the frequent comments was, “I love the smell of books. I’ll miss it with one of those things.”You can see where this is going?
I’d pull out a small bottle of linen scent with a fake label that said “Paperback” and said, “Just sprinkle a drop or two of this on the reader. We also offer ‘Hardback’ if you prefer.” It lightened the mood and often got a laugh. Most recognized it as a joke.
But a couple of times, after a customer had purchased a reader, they’d return to the store in a few days to say how much they enjoyed it… and ask to buy the book scented cologne.

As for the proprietary advertising cologne?

That cologne would attract men, but I invented one that attracts women – it smells like money…
