I Left My Bus Fare at the Pub, and......
Humor
When I was in college...Time: late on a Friday afternoon, after a few beltsPlace: Jen's dorm room.Scene of the Crime: Jen and my boyfriend Mike, who were both taking an engineering class, were doing a last minute check on some homework before we all went to dinner. They were taking longer than expected,and I got bored. I noticed Jen's keys setting on the dresser. On it was a small canister of pepper spray. I began to wonder what it smelled like, so I picked up her keys, and very delicately, they way you do at the perfume counter in a department store, I held it at arms length and gave the button a tiny push - aimed away from my face (I'm not stupid!!). Nothing happened. As I began to contemplate my next move, sudden, Jen and Mike's heads jerked up, eyes wide."What the hell is that?!?" turned into "What the hell did you do!?!". This quickly progressed to "Oh my God, you idiot!!" and "What the hell were you thinking!?!" as the room became enveloped in a caustic presence. We had to air the room out as best we could, and went to dinner coughing with our eyes watering. Jen was mad at me all weekend.Upshot: For those of you who are perpetually curious....Pepper spray has no real scent. It just burns. And apparently.. I really am stupid!
