So, I've been lurking on basenotes for a while and last week I started posting. Like any new poster to a board, I've been doing a fair amount of obsessive reading. Well, ok, more than a fair amount. I've managed to read back to page 63 of the Female Frag Forum, and more besides that. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but as with any new obsession, I have to talk about it - my victim being my OH. He was quite patient at first, but he had to be. After all, it was him that got me interested in fragrance in the first place.
There comes a time, however, when patience wears out. Luckily for me, my husband is British and the first thing that happens when his patience wears out, is that he starts to take the piss. When it's bad pun after bad pun, this can be quite painful. When he decides to parody, however, it's good fun. This time he got creative to the point where I had a drink through nose and onto computer reaction, so I thought I would share.
Hope you guys get as much of a giggle out of this as I did

Disclaimer: I double checked the Code of Conduct to make sure that this is ok to post, and to me, it looks ok, but I've not been on this board long enough to know where the line is drawn between joke and attack. Some boards are more strict than others, so please forgive if this is a board where that is the case.
