There are times in a man's life when he has to make a choice that shapes him and really helps him to become the man he should be. There are times when temptation is so real that your mind says yes so loud you can't hear your heart. Some times choices can ruin you forever....
I had such a choice the other day. I had just gotten out of the shower and went to put on my deoderant and it wasn't there. It all came flooding back to me. Yesterday, I had used the last little bit of my deoderant and threw it in the garbage. I determined to remember to go to Target that evening and buy some new stuff. I had forgotten.
Many things raced through my head at that moment like, "How far away is the garbage I through it in?", and "Could I scrape any more off the applicator if I did find it?" Then, the weirdest thought came to my head. Just use April's (my beautiful wife). She will never know and you may actually smell a little better. Then, I remembered those "PH Balanced for a Woman" commercials and wondered what that meant if men used it.
My head was spinning and I was working on the pros and cons list in my head as fast as I could. Do I take the chance of being smelly like a girl? I could always say my wife must have brushed up against me if anyone could smell it. Doing it only one time wouldn't hurt me. "No one would ever find out" I told myself. I had to make a choice.....to wear the wife's deoderant or to go naturally fresh all day.
Although the temptation was great to succomb to the urges to always wear some sort of deoderant, I wore nothing. I am proud to say I didn't wear women's deoderant that day. I am also glad that even my wife didn't notice. Mark one up for the Jerster.
