MY DEODORANT FAILED ME

Pic is not author. Summed up half of my day today.

I guess the marketing ads on tv, mags, radio and social media of characters during busy, stressful settings abruptly takes a sneak peek at their armpits and realize they have an important issue. That’s right: an important issue.

As a rugged male, I always thought and believed such instances occurred only with females — since much more products are marketed to them compared to males.

However other than beer, cars, and stocks, I do see males have male personal products geared toward them.

And thank heavens for underarm deodorant —

Because today after working in the hot May sun for a couple hours, a discomforting odor arose from the soul of my armpits, where I liberally rubbed a well known brand of deodorant (slick) onto its surface — like I do everyday.

I was like, WHAT?! Maybe a random bad sample that I had to unfortunately pick out, pay for and use. But hey…

RED ALERT. RED ALERT.

I wasn’t under under any kind of stress, which is a popular reason for armpit perspiration in a lot of people.

Even though I sweat heavily during the Spring and Summer months and have adopted body spray, in my routine, to keep the drenching at bay.

I just believe it wouldn’t occur today. TO-DAY.
