Uncommon Scents

Handwritten sign seen today in bathroom of downtown Syracuse bagel shop:


Do not take air freshener

It has G.P.S.

We will track you down!



This raises the following intriguing questions:

1. Why no fuss over the theft of the missing period in line 1?

2. If there has been a rash of bathroom air fresheners stolen from this location, what is the severe odor emergency at the place in dire need of these devices?

3. Is there a hot black market for air fresheners? Why?

4. Do you believe their air freshener really has G.P.S.? (Maybe in this case it stands for "get poacher of scent.")

5. If and when the scent poacher is caught, what will "we" say?

6. Isn't the very invention and use of a so-called air freshener ludicrous and indicative of one of capitalism's fabricated "needs" in light of the fact that the greatest air freshener is, of course, well, more air?
