This was sent to my by a woman I chat with in my not all the big of a town.

This was written by a guy from KVLY-TV in Fargo; please repost this and help get the word out......

This is something that happened to us on the way
back from vacation last
spring. I didn't think much of it until now. The
reason we were a little
suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all
day
with 100 degrees temps
and we stopped at a truck stop for something to
drink. When I was
leaving, a
young girl followed me out and asked what kind of
cologne I was wearing.Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don't
think you could tell I
was
or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in
the
jeep and said no thanks.

Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service
station in Birmingham
getting gas. It was about 9:30 pm. I was
approached
by 2 men and 2 women
in
a car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind
of perfume do you
wear?'
I was a bit confused and I asked him 'Why?' He
said, 'We are selling some
name brand perfumes, at cheap prices.' I said I
had
no money. He then
reached out of the car and handed me paper that
was
laminated; it had many
perfumes on it. I looked quickly at it and gave
it
back. I said, have no
money. He said it is OK, we take check, cash, or
credit cards. Then the
people in the car began to laugh. I just got in
my
car and said no thanks.
Then I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent
chills up my spine Please
read this. It is no joke. Here is the e-mail I
was
sent
Dear Friends:
know not all of you are women that I am sending
this to, but am hoping
you
will share this with your wives, daughters,
mothers, sisters, etc. Our
world
seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe
bombs
in mail boxes and sickos
in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was
approached yesterday
afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Wal-Mart parking
lot by two males asking
what kind of perfume I was wearing. Then they
asked
if I'd like to sample
some fabulous scent they were willing to sell me
at
very reasonable rate. I
probably would have agreed had I not received an
e-mail warning of a "Wanna
smell this neat perfume?" scam.
The men continued to stand between parked cars, I
guess to wait for someone
else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards
them, pointing at them and
told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work
about someone walking up to
you at the malls or in parking lots and asking
you
to
SNIFF PERFUME that they are selling at a cheap
price.
THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER!
When you sniff it, you'll pass out. They'll take
your wallet, your
valuables
and heaven knows what else. If it were not for
this
e-mail, I probably
would
have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the
generosity of an e-mailing
friend, I was spared whatever might have happened
to me. I wanted to do
the
same for you.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS
AND PLEASE BE ALERT AND BE
AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT
ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS
Ladies, this happened to me yesterday and I
didn't
smell the perfume
either,
thanks to this email. This is true. Believe me, I
know. I was over by Big
Lots in the parking lot at lunch time when I was
approached.
So either day or night, it does not matter. There
were 3 guys together when
I was approached. I called the police when I got
back to

my desk. Like the
email says above, LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS -
YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY,
CO-WORKERS, whomever It helped me. The first
thing
that popped into my
head
was this e-mail warning.

I'm selling chilli. Wanna sample sniff? :passgas:

Actually, now that I think about it, I did have a skanky-ho looking tramp approach me at a BP gas station several years ago and ask me what type of colonge I was wearing - no shitt'ng. I told her that I didn't wear any. She was pushy. I just ignored her, got in my Jeep and drove away.
I thought she was trying to pickup a trick.

Gives me the shivers just thinking about it....yikes!

I work at a convenience store, we get those people all the time. It's like they don't take no for an answer.


I had a manager threaten to throw a couple like that out of a store I used to work in, they tried selling to me then wanted to know if they could talk to some of our customers.

I also remember a situation were a couple of my sister's friends were leaving the store they worked in about the time my sister and I were leaving another store in the same building and I had parked right by them. Well they had some guy come up wanting to sell them perfume, who would take no for a answer. He kept pushin them and they kept telling him no and he wouldn't listen, so I ended up steping in telling him to take a hike.
 
used to be that when sombody asked you if you wanted to sniff the perfume, or buy some perfume to sniff they were trying to sell you some blow, but i havent herd that in at least a year
 
Some of us old farts that grew up in the age of points and plugs could have told you ether's awfully volatile, and even if by some miracle you could get enough to stay on a card to knock someone out, you'd have to stuff their head down and hold it for a long time.
 
I would think that you would need to inhale quite a bit of ether to be knocked out by it. That is the main ingredient in starting fluid after all and who hasn't accidentially sniffed some. I know I have, I have even gotten ether in my eye at work before, not pleasant at all!, but I never passed out. I doubt that a small card covered with ether would knock out someone. However if they are urging you to sniff a rag that is another story. I think I would be more worried about them pulling a weapon than a card sprayed with ether. Those people are very sketchy, they used to hang out in the Walmart parking lot just out side of the Bank located in the parking lot trying to lure people over that were coming out of the bank. I always avoided them, something about a couple of guys hanging out next to a rusty van, just doesnt seem like a good sales pitch.

Anybody who's owned a few old VW's, or who still owns a six volt Ford tractor, knows that you can get a pretty good sized whiff of "snicker juice" without actually keeling over. Long long ago in a galaxy far away, along with its use for getting vehicles going on wet days, we always kept a can or two of starting fluid around to euthanize the critters my cat dragged home. We'd stick them in a little box with some cotton, etherize them and then toss them into the incinerator. Whoomp!
 
All those folks are trying to do is sell some cheap cologne. Not worth the money you'll pay them. If they work for an actual company they don't get paid if they don't sell (100% commission) and they may have bottled some of their own and are just scamming folks.

I had a person tell me I smelled good, and asked me what I had on.

I told them a "hard on", but I didn't know they could smell it. :D
