I enjoy the smell of gasoline. Don't you? I mean, I don't sit there and sniff it, but as I'm filling up my car I enjoy the scent. On a related note, when I lived in South Carolina, I worked at a place that sold Yankee candles. They had a whole room dedicated to these fragrant novelties. They had all your basic scents like lilac, bayberry, and fresh linen. These are all fine and dandy, assuming, of course, that you lack a Y chromosome. This is why I would like to propose a new "testosterone" line of Yankee candles. The emphasis being on the Y in Yankee. Some scents would include gasoline, Old Spice deodorant, manure, new car smell, and, a personal favorite...

I'm telling you, there is definite possibility in this line. Candle stands could be set up in auto body shops and hardware stores. These'll probably be a big hit with bachelors, but there will be a steady stream of married men buying them as an act of "rebellion." I can just see a drinking game coming from this line. "Hey man, take a wiff of this, and if you flinch, you take a drink." I wonder if a Yankee candle rep will read this and give it some thought. I have my fingers crossed. I wouldn't mind a nice barbeque candle lit up on a cold winter night. Peace out.
