Here I think work crews are made of sterner stuff; the only thing I fear driving people away with the scent of is one of the true sensual pleasures in this life, a little round hunk of Epoisses. http://www.911cheferic.com/main/newsletter/Article_template.asp?id=60&seq=1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89poisses_cheese A little round wooden box containing a properly ripe and room-temperature morsel of runny and delicious cheese, a loaf or two of good bread, a good bottle of wine... I'm so fortunate that my girlfriend and I share a love of this treat, or it could get pretty antisocial. Once I brought some of this cheese to a place I was working as a special treat. The population of the office parted like the red sea, about a third clustered around the cheese and bread, the other two thirds backed up against the opposite wall with the windows open. I decided not to opress that suffering two-thirds again, but it was an interesting phenomenon. -Jeff
