smell my....

I've often thought about why we humans like to smell like things that we could never naturally smell like. We want to smell provacative to bees. Makes me wonder if we have more in common with honeybees than dogs, our famous best friends.
We don't want to smell like human sex, we wash that away and add pollinating insect attractant. Anyhow, this makes more sense.
Don't you think?
I recommend a great book on the subject, Tom Robbin's "Jitterbug Perfume". As my friend April said when introducing me to this author, "He will fast become your favorite." It's one of those books that can briefly take over your life, and afterward, you'll seek out everything he's written and buy or steal it immediatly. Possibly. Not necessarily. It's probable.
The jitterbug perfume book also ignited in me a desire to go to new orleans. Before. I should have. My unborn children will be incredulous one day that I missed that city in it's glory days. And I'll agree with them.
I'll make some excuse like "we didn't have any money, and you kids are so spoiled compared to what we had" bla bla bla...............
