Back in the early 70s I was a scratch basketball player. We all hung out at the local park and played pickup games until the police ran us off.
Part of my kit was located in the trunk of my 1962 Chevy Biscayne and it consisted of a Spalding basketball, spare Chucks, a dry t-shirt, Levi’s and a gigantic family sized spray can of Right Guard. After a long game or two I to my car and prep for a bit of scouting around looking for a date, you know the things that teenagers do for a living at that age.
A Right Guard spray down (shower in a can), throw on a Levi’s and a t-shirt and go fox hunting.

I was wrong - my guess was an immigrant taxi driver.
Some of them are quite fragrant.
Oh, great: Now everything containing alcohol in a spray bottle is going to come with a gargantuan warning label.

No. I think it was a normal reaction.
No nominations for the Darwin Award?
Right Guard & a Bic made for a neat flamethrower.
I call it marinating. As in, “Whoa, how long did you marinate in that stuff?” Some women do the same thing. After they leave, a funky blue fog hangs around anywhere they’ve been for hours.
stand by for new warning labels on body spray containers and cigarette packs
