Ooooo, that smell!

Well, I had a seat this morning, which was better than yesterday. The gang was all there; Rocker Dude, The Mask. I sat next to The Mask, who was in the process of final touchup. Still a bit squished to bring out my crossword, so I resigned myself to sitting and half-dozing. This black man came on the bus and made his way to the back. He REEKED of cologne. Don't know who he was trying to impress, but he just plain stunk to high heaven. I gagged, it was that bad. I had to breathe through my nose for much of the way downtown. I was sure grateful when he got off, let me tell you!
