The Guava Trick
Chance Garza slurped her guava juice. The attractive intern moaned over-dramatically, “Mmmm! If guava sat on shit, I’d eat it.”
The gathered biologists chuckled in the Panamanian heat.
Garrett sighed. She’d slept with every male scientist, except Garrett.
Chance waved goodnight.
Garrett slumped dejectedly.
Grinning, Larry Baugh placed a vial before Garrett, saying, “It’s time you knew.”
Garrett examined the label. It read, “Cologne: Guava Flavor.”

Yep. At least she knows what hers is. A lot of us don’t know our own “trick.” At least Garrett won’t be left out anymore. Thanks kindly, and thanks for stopping by! π

I would imagine being the “only” one who didn’t, would play hell with a guy’s ego.

Oh yeah. Garrett had some serious blues. I can report he’s feeling much better now, although applied a little too much guava cologne at once.
He’s walking with a limp now.

I never tried it. I guess I’m not missing anything. It was about time they let him in on it. He was developing a complex. Thanks for the visit, Suzanne! π

Oh, wow!!! I mean, I know what is going on here, but my mind instantly went to “guava on shit + Garrett getting guava cologne = Garret is shit…or the more positive phrase, ‘Da Shit!”
So funny!!

Haha! You know, I had that angle in the back of my mind, and I doubted that anyone would consider it. I should have more faith in the creativity of readers. Thank you much! I’m glad you had fun.

Great stuff, Eric! It seems this guava cologne is a bit better than the old-school funky cold Medina.
Cheers!
