My wings are like a shield of steel

I found a small bat on my way here this morning. It was just lying in the middle of the road strapped to a piece of cardboard and it smells. It’s blue with yellow wings and green ears.

Looks like someone bought themselves a novelty air freshener that never quite made it home. It has a fairly pleasant musk smell.

I’m fascinated by the description on the cardboard. It tells me that it’s “Fun to hang in your car, home or office”. Now I don’t know how everyone else gets their kicks but I can’t imagine having fun hanging up an air freshener.

I can appreciate the fact that it’s a cute looking product but to say that it’s fun to hang it wherever you need to freshen up the air is probably a stretch. I can’t imagine ringing up a bunch of friends and saying, “Hey, do want to come over and have some fun? I’ve got some air fresheners we can hang around the place”.

I love reading the descriptions manufacturers put on their products. Take the time to read the side of a few packets at your place and let me know what you find.

  • $100 to the first person to marry the one they picked up with this line, “Hey, do want to come over and have some fun? I’ve got some air fresheners we can hang around the place.”

    OK, not $100, but I do have some nice (but not fun) air fresheners that I’ll send (SASE).
