I'm often asked the question.....so much that I have to remark upon it

Pearl, they say,' we see the bling, but why are you dripping with perspiration?'

The answer is simple if you've studied organic chemistry.

Deodorant is made from hydrated potassium sulfate, KAI(SO4)2 + 12H20, or alum, to those of you who haven't.

So, alum is used for deodorant. Also as a flame retardant.

Now, Honey, why would I want to put out this fire?
