I got a lot of flack from my friends last Friday night. As I gave my best friend a hug, he goes, “Why do you smell like a man?!” My girl friend shrieks, “Ikaw pala yon!!!!!” (So that was you!!!)
Uh-oh. Looks like my Johnson’s Baby Cologne didn’t work. I reluctantly took out the small pink bottle and told them it was called “Morning Dew” and well… didn’t I smell like the morning dew? (Haha…)
A fit of hysterical shrieks and giggles burst out. And a big N-O too. A couple more friends arrived and after letting them smell the cologne, they did say it did smell like a man’s musk. A friend recommended Bench. Maybe I’ll drop by that store sometime.
Oh well. We left the “Morning Dew” bottle at the coffee shop. Maybe a guy would pick it up, and hopefully, he uses it and gets compliments like, “You’re so manly!”
Lesson learned! If it smells like a man, well, it’s not for me.
