Yesterday I was in a carpark elevator in central Melbourne.
There were four of us and a strong pong.
I noticed my wife's nostrils twitch.
Then one of the strangers looked the other in the eye and said:
Joop?
Yeah, said the other - too strong?
Oh no, it's my favourite…
Having escaped, I said to my wife:
I'd concluded it had been sprayed in the lift to conceal some dreadful odour.
We bustled on to our hairdressing appointment, told our story to James who coifs us both,
and he said Lucky you didn''t brush against the Joop man, or you'd be bringing it in here with you.
