Not long after he had reason to help one of the CWA ladies with a Tea. As you do.
Suddenly he realised that the pong he had experienced was Vanilla Extract being drunk to get themselves ****ed.
No no no, not the CWA lady, the swaggie, although who can say what was drunk at CWA meetings?
Seems it was the custom at the time to sup Vanilla extract because they couldn't get the real McCoy.
Reminds me of the time I was on a geophysical field party and the crew chief woke up, somewhat belatedly, that the amount of vanilla essence on the supply orders vastly exceeded any possible cooking uses by the cook, who always seemed to have a pleasant smell!
