Some May Be Offended, But

underarms are hairy
  unless you shave them very

often -- not to mention smelly
  most use a-p roll-on gel

ee -- gad zooks what good are underarms
  please don't bare yours in my barn!

Armpit hair wicks away moisture like feathers on a duck, or fringes on a buckskin jacket. The USA gave the world bras most women do not need, and deodorants no one needs as the stench derives from fungus which is only quelled by a fungicide, but hey, Americans need the money! Aloha! Rico

P.S. Shhh. I'll tell you my secret: I braid my armpits after I use the anti-perspirant. If you do it before, the very air turns sour! lol. Thanks, Jan

A poem about underarms. I am shocked that you got there before I did, but I am also cheering for this one.

Smelly pits, if you use only deodorant, and no anti-anti-perspirant are real social killers, as you say Gershon - please don't bare your arms in my BARN AND IF YOU DECIDE TO WEAR THE SAME BLOUSE OR SHIRT THE NEXT DAY, PLEASE ALSO HEED THE SAME COMMENT. Well penned Gershon, sorry about the mess, but checked no spelling mistakes. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Well, I see that smelly armpits can arouse the most intense passion! Who would have 'thunk' it?! lol. I'll try to steer clear of the Proxenos Stable as long as my anti-perspirant aerosol is disabled!! lol. Thanks, JP

stay away from me with smelly pits... sometimes it's what you eat that cause it. Good one, Gershon.
