To dry off those pits, get in your car and Speed, Stick your arms out the window. But be careful, you don’t want to over-dry them and leave them Arrid. ---

I use a new roll-on called _Vanish_. It makes me invisible and everyone wonders where the odor is coming from. ---

Man, all this roasting in here is making me perspire. I mean, really - what’s the dry idea? It smells like some kind of old spice in here. Don’t make me lift up my arm & hammer your skull in. What? Don’t like it? Well, you can just kiss my face! Esprix, marvelling at the absurdity of the internet. ---

Puns are an arrid, arrid subject. They’ll clear the room of all mennen women faster than reeking old spice. Solid evidence of pun threads’ ability to roll on is easily available, however, even though they are… …really, really bad. What? 😃 ---

[**Derleth** , your punishment for not reading this thread and seeing all those puns were used before you (and better, I might add) is to eat an entire stick of deodorant - and make it the “glides on clear” kind so we don’t see any icky chunks between your teeth. Chow down, choad!] Esprix ---
