Ad-Hatters Letter

Dear gimmickry wizards,

On a recent trip through your proud nation I stopped at a petrol service, I mean, gas station in Weed, CA (pop. 89,653). Upon paying at the cash register I noticed an air freshener in the shape of a cowboy boot. Remembering that my friend "Chris" (name changed to protect his integrity) has a fairly new pick-up truck with a gut-wrenchingly disgusting odour in the cab (from God only knows what), I purchased one of your many products located on the shelf with the hope of solving his problem.

Chris was pleased to receive such an excellent gift, knowing that cleaning and re-cleaning his truck had no effect on the mystery smell. Tearing open the air freshener package with fervour, Chris hung the boot around his rearview mirror. Ahh, he sighed, as the mystery stench was shrouded in the new aroma of the cowboy boot. Ahh-choo, he sneezed, as the cowboy boot fragrance filled the cab with a heavy perfume, quickly replacing all of the breathable oxygen within the truck! I watched from outside the vehicle as his smile turned to a frown and he furiously grabbed at the door handle to flee the odourous stranglehold. Chris barely escaped with his life (or at least that was the look he had on his face)! Coughing and sneezing, he aired out his truck for nearly two hours with almost no noticeable effect. we tried lighting a match, two, three, then a whole book of 'em. This perfume scent was worse than the mystery odour! Something has to be done, as it has been two weeks now and the air freshener bouquet doesn't seem to be letting up. Help! Do you have any sort of antidote for your products? Is there a way to rid oneself of the evil that is "Cowboy Boot Air Freshener?"

Please write back with any possible solutions. I told Chris that I'd go to the experts for advice. That's you. We've tried cleaning agents, other air fresheners, deodorizers, everything short of voodoo and witchcraft! Thank you for any quick response that you may be able to give us. Also, do you have any caps or t-shirts (XL) you could send? That would be great!

Smell ya later,
Dairn M Peters
