Anyone you wouldn’t want to know about it wouldn’t know what a Thai massage smells like anyway. What _does_ a Thai massage smell like? ---

Maybe they’re hoping for poor spellers, who think they’re getting a Thai Masseuse. Now one of those would be nice in the shower. ---

I’ve had Thai massage many times. I think it’s not what you think it is. I’m betting it’s not what Axe thinks it is, either. ---

Indeed, tradtitional Thai massage is a rather humdrum affair, one that I find to be vastly overrated. Now, if we’re talking oil or body to body, _then_ you’re talkin’. 😉
