The other day I was looking all over town for some places that carry essential oils I found one place that carried them, but didn't know if it was expensive or not so I thought I would check out some drugstores and see how their prices compared. Well I went into a drugstore and asked the lady there if they had any essential oils. She gave me a puzzled look and seemed to be racking her brain about it. She said she had never heard of it, and asked me to describe it. Well, I was under the assumption that most people know what it is, and it had never honestly crossed my mind that some people may not know what they are. So my explanation was something like "They are oils that have a really strong scent." Once again, another puzzled look and then something like. "OH! I think I know what you mean. Check in aisle 7a with the, uhh, well, you know what I mean." Which I didn't, so I was wandering what it was she couldn't think of. Evidently, this had nothing to do with lack of words, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, because she sent me to an aisle labeled as "family planning"!!! Hahaha, evidently she must have thought "essential oils" are some kind of massage oil, or something because this was like the aisle with the KY gel and all that stuff... After I figured out what she meant, I explained to her that they are plant extracts used in soaps candles herbal remedies and the like. They didn't have them, but that was the funniest visit to a drugstore I have ever had... Just thought I would share it with you all... in hopes you would get a chuckle or two out of it yourself.
it's a shame how far the general populace has fallen from the trees...that story at least breaks the ice *utters out some sort of simbalance of a muted chuckle"
