Out, Out, Damned Post
Looking for sweet-smelling thugs? A postmistress in England drove away two gun-wielding robbers using a can of air freshener. Margaret Taylor, of Manchester, fought off two men who burst into her post office waving a gun and a knife. She picked up a bottle of Oust - which claims to do “more than just eliminate odours'' - and sprayed the raiders in the face. The fumes proved too much for the balaclava-wearing robbers and they ran for their car.
FOOTNOTE: The baffle of balaclava.
I keep a can Oust in the truck...now it seems it may be a good idea...I'll just spray Mac with it when he tries to take possession of my proper spot behind the steering wheel!
ReplyDelete*LOL* Cheers to Ms. Taylor!

I love it, David. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteGood idea - will have to keep a can about.
ReplyDeleteso...it does do more than eliminate odors...i might have to go buy some of that!!
ReplyDeleteThat's just brilliant! I wonder if Oust will try to work the story into their next advertising campaign.
ReplyDeletelol..bet they were the sweetest smellin crooks on your side o the pond!
ReplyDeleteWhat's that smell bubba?
Why its melonburst ...or was it honeysuckle rose?..LOL..good on her!
there's a new commercial in there, i can see it now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
I wonder if writing "Blows away thugs" on the container would be politically correct. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA swift kick in the nads would have done the trick too!
ReplyDeleteI'd think that stinky rose scented perfume that old ladies wear would do the same trick.Maybe even better.That stuff is rank!!!!
Good for her!!
ReplyDeleteI know this Hyde shop well David.. The lady is now a local hero..
ReplyDeleteIt made me laugh when I read the story too.
Well done Margaret! Surely a boost in 'oust' sales too? I've not heard of it before now. A product which clearly does MORE than it says on the tin.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Gutsy woman!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the smelly would be robbers....
The cops just have to look for some fresh smelling robbers.
ReplyDeleteCrime doesn't spray.
ReplyDeleteHA! I love it! I'm gonna have to pick up some that "just in case". hehe
ReplyDeleteI agree.... that would be a great commerical. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Oust is dangerous stuff!
ReplyDeletemy new weapon of choice -

Clearly, Oust is good for ousting more than odors. I'll start keeping a can in my desk at the gallery.
