Overheard on I-40 West...

Tam: "It's easy to spot bolsheviks. They smell like patchouli; patchouli is the smell of bolshevism."

Kaylee: "Uh, I sometimes wear patchouli."

Tam: "I'll be watchin' you."

I actually thought the only use was to cover the smell of pot-smoking (maybe that's because I live in a college town, where that really is the primary use), but I have been told that some actually consider it perfume. Revolting stuff! Hey wait... Bols... revolting... now I see...; 10:39 AM, December 29, 2006

Did you say it with your eyes bugged out like R. Lee Ermey talking to Cowboy in Full Metal Jacket?; 10:42 AM, December 29, 2006

And FWIW, I never thought it covered the smell of pot either. Kinda like putting violets on a dead fish. Then you just have the smell of flowery dead fish. With Patchouli and pot, you just get two unpleasant smells mixed together. Double gag!; 11:05 AM, December 29, 2006

Sandalwood is nice.
