no scratching necessary

a question i get asked a lot is: "why do you smell everything?"

i've finally thought of an answer: "why not?"

consider a book, a piece of paper, a mousepad, a racquet overgrip, a playing card, and any other item whose intrinsic purpose is for something other than its fragrance. though not necessarily created with its smell in mind, who would deny that each item has its unique scent?

and i believe that each item deserves to have its unique scent experienced. :]
