Default Avon insect repellant

For those of you who doubt it or don't know of it, the Avon
Skin-so-soft Dry Oil Body Spray, Woodland Fresh, was proved very
effective by some Army guys on manoevers in Canada last week.
A friend's son-in-law was going and dreading the flies expeirenced
there previously. I gave him my bottle, thinking he might be to tough
to use it. However, he phoned me up, told me they all used it, with
none experiencing bites.
Now I have to buy another bottle!

He's being humorous, following the "Lumberjack" number, with just a soupcon
of John Inman thrown in.

I wouldn't have said a word about this had it not followed a please help
post, reply by Baz saying "you are a bad gardener."
Nothing else, no suggestion of help, just that comment.
I did not find that amusing.

That's the very one I've recommended several times! You're absolutely
correct, it's brilliant. Canadian lumberjacks use it!


Ah, that fits!

You beat me to it... without opening your link I'm guessing that is
going to be the Monty Python lumberjack song?
