Think before you spritz…

    OMG. What on EARTH???? I guess the mental anguish is from the firing, not the anguished anti-Tresor interior monologue.

    You know, I do think some people have serious health problems related to fragrance and other environmental allergies, but the huge cash award disturbs me. Of course, it will probably get knocked way down on appeal.

    And of course, if the 2 mil is for the anguished interior monologue, I've got a few fragrance complaints of my own I'd like to make, LOL!
