Old Women Smellin' of Moth Balls

Who doesn't love the fall? Leaves are changing to beautiful hues, the fun of Halloween awaits, Thanksgiving dinner is just around the bend. Ohh yeah...and old ladies decide it is the best time of year to pull the old winter duds out of storage. And of course you wouldn't want a swarm of moths infiltrating and dissecting your precious garments now would you?

old ladies smell like moth balls
NO! of course not. Enter, MOTH BALLS. These handy little suckers do the job at keeping your 30 year old jacket that has no insulation left anyways, out of harms way and clear of pests. While protecting your goods may be a key benefit, what about the drawbacks?

Namely, STINKIN' LIKE YOUR GRANDMA'S STORAGE CLOSET. How in God's name can these old farts not understand that keeping something sealed with pungent chemicals does not just vanish when they come in contact with fresh air?!?!

So that leads me to my newest gripe. Please folks, after you take your junk out of storage give it a wash. Sensory adaptation doesn't set in that quickly...give it a good whiff and if it smells capable of potentially claiming the lives of some unsuspecting passers-by (or even better - seat partners on the train) please think twice before tossing it on.

kthx!
