Raise your hands...

Mr. Poon makes a fine point about the inanity of some deodorant commercials today.

I don't see anything wrong with it, however.

I like to use one brand on my left armpit, and another on the right. Then, I go about my normal day.

When I get home at night, I go through a complicated ritual involving checking for sweat stains on the outside of my shirt, dabbing my armpits with a paper towel, and sticking my hands in my pits and smelling them Molly Shannon-style.

I tabulate the results, then with great fanfare announce that day's winner. I've got a little gold medal that I hang around the winning stick of deodorant for the night.

The next day, it gets its chance to defend its championship.

I find that not only does it add a little excitement to my morning ritual, but it also keeps both brands "on their toes" and fighting for my well-being at all times.
