She was being nosey

[Frontier's]

Today I was going through my guns and oiling them. I filled up a 2oz bottle with Ballistol and sat down on the couch and my girlfriend asked... what's in the bottle?

I told her, it's an oil I'm trying out... oh really? Does it smell good?

I kept the evil smile inside my head as I answered while unscrewing the bottle cap and brought it to her nose.

Uh huh, this one actually does.

I can't say the words she used when she took a good whiff.

My wife and daughter HATE the smell of Ballistol and mine is diluted moose milk (1/7) iirc.

I can’t clean anywhere near them.

I'd sleep with one eye open!

My lab mix is gun shy so if I am using ballistol or hopes she hides behind the chair in the garage.

As a fur trapper, my choice of gun cleaner/oil is the least of my wife's concerns

Cavin's Gusto long distance call lure is divorce in a bottle.

This is one time where words and picture could hardly be better matched!

Don't think I have ever had the chance to smell Ballistol but Kano Kroil smells delicious.

G96 smells good to me. Almost like egg nog.

 

[TobJohn]

when my fiance smells something that smells industrial in the house she looks grossed out and goes “have you been using ballistol???”

 

[Yewbender]

There’s nothing like the smell of Ballistol when cleaning a muzzleloader!

 

[Ceddie]

I have to hide my ballistol.... My wife will steal it and use it on everything. She loves it.

Marvel Mystery Oil has an irresistible aroma that lures in women from a ten-mile radius. If only they bottled it as an aftershave, I’d be unstoppable.

I love the smell of Kroil. Reminds me of the floor cleaner in grade school.

 

[snakebit]

I kinda like the smell of Ballistol myself

I've never had a good sniffer ,no smells used to bother me
However since I'm older and suffering from CHHS* (can't hardly hear stuff)
My nose is much more sensitive
Now I can understand why my wife complained about some of my shop created smells over these past years
I walked through a thicket this year and the deer scent about knocked me over
Knew a fella was in my woods from a 100 yards away cause I smelled Hoppes #9
Things keep going this way I'll rent myself out as a tracking hound next deer season
