Imagine that ad running today?
I came across it while googling Ivory soap.
"Why," you ask?
Because over the decades I have noticed more than several times that if I quit using Ivory soap in the shower, I get insect bites.
"Why," you ask?
Because I've always smelled a faint trace of citronella in the soap and I figured that was why.
"So what?" you ask?
Because "historically," citronella is a known insect repellant, that's why.
So I looked it up, and it says Ivory soap contains "fragrance," with no mention of citronella. But my nose knows, and I liked that advertisement.
So I looked further and it turns out that citronella cannot be sold as a repellant, but can be as a fragrance or perfume.
And it happened again recently. I almost never get mosquito bites, but a day ago I used another soap and surer than G-d made purple grapes and yellow peaches, I got three bites last night.
So there. And screw your so-called skientifical tests which dictate that it can't be sold as an insect repellant.
Nyah! :P Up yours.

But it doesn't repel bears - hence the revolver ;)

Levergun a few feet back also.

And a shovel so no conservation officer asks what happened to the bear.

^ Don't feel bad, I missed the rifle until MechAg94 mentioned it. (Didn't have my levergun glasses on.)
I always felt antsy about leaning long arms against trees and cars and such unless there was some kind of inside corner so they wouldn't slide down sideways.

Yeah, me too

I always stick the muzzle in a groove in the bark, or better yet - across a lower limb or a fallen log.

This is why I've had bipods on a few rifles that didn't really have the accuracy to justify them, and slings on nearly all rifles; the sling lets you free your hands without putting the gun down, and lets you hang it from any branch stub if you're not carrying it. The bipod at least keeps the muzzle and action up out of the dirt.

^^ "I always stick the muzzle in a groove in the bark..."
That counts as an inside corner.

So now I had to look up turducken. Turns out it was apparently invented right here in Colorado.
Closest I came to it was slicing a chicken thigh enough to insert a piece of hard salami (bacon's OK, too) in there, then pressing the wound closed and baking or grilling that.
Worked pretty good. I s'pose you could call it salacken.
I guess if you did that with the chicken in turducken, you could call it turduckenlami.
