Seen at the store: "Fall Leaves" scented dish soap. It wasn't until I got it home that I wondered exactly what "Fall Leaves" smells like. I went outside and gathered some samples from the back yard. Sniffed them.
Nothing. As expected.
Perhaps the soap maker meant "Fall Leaves, as Perceived by a Dog," because the canine olfactory system can detect that a sparrow brushed against this leaf six months ago, although fat lot of good that does anyone. About 87% of dog odor action seems to consist of "someone was here but they aren't anymore." OK, Fido, I'll make a note of it.
