[NEohioPAL] AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE

[Brooke Willis]

I've had to tell several people at my church that ONE or TWO spritzes 
is PLENTY. They may not like hearing it, but they get the message. I 
really don't appreciate hugging someone and having to smell like them 
until my next shower!

Oh my, at first I thought, "I don't remember smelling anyone over 
bearing before", until yesterday, in our receiving line of "Caroline or 
Change", a nice little old lady, wanted to hug and give long comments 
about her love of the show, I couldn't hold my breath long enough, and 
since she had my hand, I couldn't cover my nose.  So what DO you say to 
those that are perfumed challenged?
