ANOTHER STORY FROM THE TRIP
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was really busy, so I didn't have any time to post any stories or update the blog. Good news though, I've posted the first batch of photos from the trip to DC on my website. You can click here to see them. But before you go dashing off to look at pictures here's today's story:

Today's episode: You can't spell Anthrax without AX
After a day of walking around the Washington Mall, which included me convincing Geoffrey (who lives the DC area) that we were closer to the L'Enfant metro, we decided to head out to Georgetown. There's one catch. The Metro don't stop in Georgetown. The closest it gets is Foggy Bottom, which happens to be right near the George Washington University campus.

We ride out of the station and are greeted by a cat-suit clad model handing out sample cards of a new body spray called AXE. Don't ask me what it smelled it, because I threw mine away without opening it. Call me paranoid. The model asks me if she can spray it on me. I decline and walk off -- but in the opposite direction of where I need to be going.

Geoffrey calls out to me, and I turn around, only to see Geoffrey and Marcus getting sprayed by the model, who is trying to get both of them to lift up their shirts and be photographed for a commercial. We all decline and start walking off towards Georgetown. That's when Marcus see HER.

She's wearing a similar cat-suit, but is little more attractive than the one that approached us. Who am I kidding? she was pretty hot. She's trying to get a couple of other guys to be in the commercial and it looks like one of them agrees. Marcus peels off and talks to her. Says, he'll let them spray him if she does it.

I'm in so much shock, that I can't even get my camera out to shoot the picture. Marcus is going to be famous for being in an Axe ad and I missed it.
