For those of you who have been following me since the beginning of this blog, you'll know that I used to date a British lifeguard and did so for quite a long time. The relationship ended badly and actually, I haven't spoken to him since we broke up, but I am grateful for the experience mostly because dating him gave me the opportunity to travel around Europe a little bit.
The British school system typically starts later than the American system and so when I would get out of school in May for the summer, he'd still be attending. When I started school in August, he still had a month and a half left of vacation. So, when we'd visit each other, usually for about a month each time, we had to put up with the fact that whoever was in their home country would still going to classes every day.
One of the times I was visiting him in England, I was at his house by myself and he was at class. I didn't have much to do as it was nearing toward the end of my visit and I had already been to the local stores and coffee shops within walking distance. I had also already gone to class with him a few times. So, I opted for watching some British TV. Luckily, they had Friends on and I quite enjoy Friends, especially for passing the time. I was basically zoning out on the couch when a peculiar little commercial came on.
The man in the commercial was getting dressed up for some formal event. He chose a nice looking suit and I will admit, he looked good. It seemed that the final step to his getting ready routine was to spray some cologne on various areas of his body. Upon doing so, he takes a deep breath and loves the smell so much that it inspires him to turn on the stereo and start strip dancing to the music. First the coat, the tie and the shirt come off and he's dancing around the whole time. Then his shoes and pants and you can guess it, he actually takes his boxers off. And I can see everything. His penis is there. And I can see it. And can I remind you that this is merely a commercial!?
So, he continues to dance around in the nude, penis flailing, until his friend texts saying, "Where are you?!" The nude man is so inspired by the smell of the cologne that he skips whatever event he was planning on attending to stay home and dance naked.
At this very moment in my life, I really wouldn't mind seeing that commercial again.
