Top Gear

My favorite car show. It's from the BBC. It makes fun of the auto makers, and they don't take anything to seriously. Every once in a while, they like to poke fun at the "Rebellious Colonials". Okay, they do it every chance they can.

Watch this episode and you see they almost go too far.

The best part, wait for the closing line. You will laugh.

I knew it was bad

Have you ever noticed, as you walk through Sears, or the Bay, you almost have to walk past the perfume counter? For me, that's hard to take. I have to run. The smell is harsh. I can feel it in my nose, and it just eats at me. It's not comfortable.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Jet fuel, Av-gas, no problem. Channel #5, big problem. Maybe it's because I know the stuff at work can kill me. There is no mis-conception that any of it is healthy, and should be avoided. But Perfume, and most heavily scented hygiene products, are just revolting to me. A co-worker with a tube of hand cream had me running from the office faster than Friday on a long-weekend. Why? It's not like I don't like things that smell good, I just don't like things that are perfumed.

Well, as it turns out, some of the fragrances are bad for you. There are very little regulations for some of these things, and people don't need to declare what they are using. Spooky.
