My life centers around this little Italian woman I am married to and our 6 rescue dogs. We live a blessed life here on the Tennessee River in a log home. Life is so good here that my wife named the place Happily EverAfter. But even in Happily EverAfter sometimes issues can arise. Yesterday morning after my morning shower and shave I put on the cologne I have using for years, Acqua Di Parma. While I was making coffee my bride comes up behind me and gives a morning hug. She said that I smelled good but I should expand my cologne collection to something beyond my old standby. Put a little excitement and edginess in my grooming routine she says. Now at 64 years old I pretty much know what I like and I am very routine oriented but given that I really like to keep her intrigued I thought I would get myself a new scent. Who knows where that could lead? So late yesterday afternoon I went down to the department store and got myself a new scent, Aqua Di Parma but a special one called Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa. The lady told me that this particular scent contained Oud and was very, very sexy to women. Just what I want I thought and so I bought it. So now to the morning.
I got up and showered while my wife was outside watering some potted plants. After a shave I applied my new cologne. I didn't say a word to my bride as I was very anxious to get her reaction. I was having coffee in the den when she passed through on the way to the laundry room. After depositing the laundry she paused in the den and just stood there for a few minutes. She went back to the laundry room and came back out with the carpet shampoo machine. She then proceeded to get down on her knees and begin to sniff the carpet like a blood hound. She has a very sensitive nose. When I asked her what she was doing the response was "One of these damn male dogs has peed on the carpet and it smells like urine. Can't you smell it?" I told her no and she said to get down on the carpet and help her find the spot. So there we were the two of us sniffing carpet all around the den. After a few minutes I got off my knees and said to hell with it I would just shampoo the entire carpet. She said that was probably the easiest way to get rid of the scent. So shampoo the carpet I did.
After I was all done she came up to me and gave me a big thank you hug. The look on her face was one of amazement. "It's you. It's you!". Then she began to laugh. "What in this world did you get into?" After she gave me a good sniffing she started her laughing again and said, "You smell like cat piss." Well now, that's not the reaction the lady at the store told me I was going to get. So back to the shower. No cologne or aftershave this time and life returned to normal.
So I learned a couple of things here. Don't try to put edginess in your routine and if the wife smells pee just go on and shower. I have a bottle of Aqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa Oud for sale CHEAP.
