I guess I have a problem

I want these air fresheners.

Scent wick/pad, 8" paracord and some #9.

It makes a great aftershave.

My Dad used to leave some Hoppe's infused q-tips on his work bench because he enjoyed the smell. Not sure if he still does that or not.

Seems maybe I have an even bigger problem. My home office phone system provides written versions of voice mails. Here's one I received this afternoon. It's been nice knowing y'all.

"This call is from Federal Tax and audit division of internal revenue services. This message is intended to contact you regarding an enforcement action executed by the US treasury intending your serious attention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for federal criminal offense. This is a final attempt to reach you to resolve this issue immediately and to speak to a federal agent call us back on 208-273-4052. I repeat 208-273-4052. Thank you."

Just in case you aren't aware, and no intention of insulting your intelligence, but that voicemail is a scam.

Edit: Unless of course, you have been getting letters in the mail from them, and you've ignored them, and you really are ditching on your taxpaying responsibilities, and allowing all of us law-abiding taxpayers to carry your tax burden, then by all means, ignore that voicemail as well.

208 is an Idaho area code
You better send that money now.
I hear those Idahoes don't play.

Wow, this is heavy stuff. Called them back and they want me to send them $10,000 of prepaid cards from 7-11. Anybody know where's there a 7-11 nearby?

A lot of people see these messages... after huffing Hoppes... and airplane glue... and downing a fifth of of Ancient Age.

Airplane glue is dangerous stuff. I prefer Tide Pods.

Hoppes #9 is what I used to snag my husband #2. A little dab will do you right behind the ears. Hehehe

They should rebrand it Hoppe's #2.

We used a lot of dope on the model planes when we were kids.

Wow, butyrate dope paint, that brings back some memories. Including one time when I got a strong whiff and couldn't stop laughing.

I like Hoppes, but Ballistol is a tight race. Threadlocker tastes pretty decent too.

I have an old "Gunsmithing Kinks" book that has the formula for Hoppes. It says the secret smell is Amyl acetate or "Banana oil".
