Misc Survey Says…

Posted by Christine S. Blystone on Mon, Dec 11 at 3:06 PM

I was just reading this, when question four stopped me in my tracks:

4. I like it when he smells like:

A. Nothing 58.1%

B. A sweaty fireman 6.5%

C. Citrusy cologne 16%

D. Scotch 19.4%

A sweaty fireman!? First of all, it made me laugh really hard. Then it got me thinking—what the hell does a sweaty fireman smell like anyway? I don’t think it would smell very good. Are 6.5% of women saying they want their man to smell like burned Nomex, carbon dioxide, and charred kittens? That’s so not sexy! Am I missing something here?

That's not even the funny part. Since 2/3 of a Portland firefighter's job is actually medical calls, a sweaty firefighter is more likely to smell like whatever the last obese shut-in smelled like as he lifted him or her onto the gurney...
