Customer: “What’s this?”
Me: “That’s leather-scented lube.”
Customer: “Yeah, the smell of leather has kind of lost it’s appeal.”
Me: “Has it?”
Customer: “The first time I got fucked, we used my friend’s mom’s hand cream. That’s the scent that does it for me. Ha ha!”
Me: [weakly] “Ha ha…”
Customer: “Ha ha ha!”
Me: “Um…”
Customer: “AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA!!!”
Me: “…”
And right as he doubled over with maniacal laughter, the bar’s jukebox kicked on and started playing “The NeverEnding Story.”
I wasn’t really using my childhood, so it’s probably okay that it just got ruined.
Status Update: Currently fixating on the following cover in a bid to clear my palate. The kicky dance moves seem to be helping.

As a child of the 1980s who never had MTV, I had *no idea* that song was sung by a man. I always thought it was a woman!

Can I just say ARGH!!! Ever since you put this earworm in my head, it’s been playing almost non-stop. The only relief I get is when my brain switches over to the plinkiness of “Issues” by Julia Michaels. I’m guessing my subconscious is trying to tell me my issues are a neverending story, but we all already knew that.

when you think about the neverending story, you think about this K-pop cover? that’s um different..I mean uh…unique.
and for all the complaining about colognes on men in leather bars, that people get excited about leather scented lube, because that smells like cologne as well. Because treated leather is scented, otherwise it would smell like the ammonia and other chemicals that are used to tan leather.
