Odd

We get sent all kinds of crazy things here, from 5 gallon buckets of hand sanitizer, to crates of Slinkies, to bullet proof vests (seriously, somebody sent one of the captains here body armor!). Despite the absurdity of the contents of the countless care packages, they are all great gestures of kindness and thoughtfulness meant to make you smile or brighten your day (or stop a bullet). In light of the current situation here, I figure I’d share this one obscure item that was stuffed away in a box.



What you are looking at is an air freshener in the shape of a cute and cuddly monkey. What a great idea, because we need all the help we can get to battle the stench from the burning trash, the heated porta potties, and room mates with stinky feet. He’s dressed in a nifty blue shirt and even comes with a suction cup to hang it on the window or other flat surface.



What makes this otherwise ingenious knick-knack less than normal is where the sent emits from.



I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll take smelly room mate over monkey butt any day.

Really, Glen? You're in Iraq and all you can talk about is an aromatic monkey? Try harder next time. Kidding:-D
Seriously, though, the irony the location from which the scent wafts is worth sharing! I hope you get back home safely!

Smelly room-mate and Monkey-butt are probably very close to the same stench.

Hey, if you could live with Gary's foot odor all of those years, you can handle anything!

At least we all got a good laugh from the monkey butt.

I don't know if "Ode de Gary feet" would go over too well here as I believe there is a ban on items of chemical warefare.
