But if he stopped using lady scented body wash and switched to old spice he could smell like it’s me. Look down.  Back up. Where are you? You’re on a boat with a man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s an oyster with two tickets with that thing you love. Look again. The tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like old spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.
