Lindsay: “Your cologne smells like fresh dirt.”
Coworker: “What?” Sniffs himself.
Lindsay: “Dirt. Like, fresh earth. And maybe corn on the cob.”
Coworker: “It does not!”
Lindsay: “Yes, it really does. It’s not a bad smell. But it really does smell a lot like an ear of corn that has just had its husks removed.”
Coworker: “What are you talking about?” Lengthy discussion about corn on the cob ensues. Coworker admits to being unclear as to what constitutes corn on the cob. Discussion ends. “I still don’t think it smells anything like corn.”
Lindsay: “Obviously, you’re not well-acquainted with the smell of freshly shucked corn.”
