L52 Mud is mud
My cousin, Harry, keeps a large curiously-shaped bottle on
observant display in his study. Despite the fact that the bottle is
tinted a dedicate shade of green, an observant visitor would soon
noticed that it is filled with what looks like a thick, greyish
substance. If you were to ask Harry what was in the bottle, he
would tell you that it contained perfumed mud. If you expressed
doubt or surprise, he would immediately invite you to smell it and
then rub some into your skin. This brief experiment dispel any
further doubts you might have. The bottle really does contain
perfumed mud. How Harry came into the possession of this outlandish
stuff makes an interesting story which he is fond of relating.
Furthermore, the acquisition of this bottle cured him of a bad
habit he had been developing for years.
