Talcum Powder
A few weeks ago, I purchased some leather-scented talcum powder. The vendor on Amazon has been pestering the hell out of me (like, every day) to review the stupid stuff. I mean, it's talcum powder! What do you want me to say? "Feels good on my balls"? So in order to shut them up, here is the review I posted to Amazon...
---
Functions like any good talcum powder and smells manly to boot. The scent is noticeable but pleasantly subtle, unlike that world famous brand which makes you smell like someone just changed your diaper. No more odd glances on the subway!
Except that I don't ride the subway. Because Houston doesn't have subways...
But you get the point.
We do have pedestrian tunnels under downtown. Not sure why. They collect flood waters beautifully, though. A bunch of people built shops down there. Not very bright, those people.
We also have a trolley. It doesn't actually go anywhere. Just kind of putters up and down Main Street and hits cars occasionally. The homeless people who live under the freeways ride it back and forth during the winter to stay warm. So it's a community service thing... I guess? Sure was expensive.
Once, back in the '80s, we were going to build monorails instead of subways in order to reduce the increasingly ridiculous freeway loads. That idea made far too much sense, however, so it was promptly abandoned in favor of building 20-lane wide freeways -- i.e., homeless shelters. Planes occasionally mistake them for runways and hit cars. I suspect they're just jealous of the trolley. Maybe the planes should pick up some homeless people while sitting on their roof.
