#8 Dr. Montenier

Dr. Jules Bernard Montenier - Bones has no respect for his readers who have never heard of the good Dr. Montenier. He can forgive most transgressions but ignorance is simply not one of them. Bones has known about Dr. Montenier since he was eleven years old when he recieved a stick of Old Spice in his Easter Basket. The magic substance allowed Bones to mask his nervousness whenever his 5th grade crush Natasha Nightingale was within 100 yards of him by staying dry and allowing him to emit his stunningly seductive pheromones. Needless to say Natasha checked the no box when Bones finally got the nerve to pass her a note in class but thanks to Dr. Montenier it was not because he stunk. Bones was extremely thankful to the Easter Bunny for this gift, but always an eager learner, he also longed to know the origin of deadorant. He strolled down to the school library, immersed himself in the card catalog and was intoduced to this great man.

As anyone who knows how to use context clues has figured out by know Dr. Montenier or Jules, as he preferred to be called, is accepted in most circles as the inventor of modern day deodarant. There are naysayers who say his appearances as a sponser on the 1950s classic"What's my line?" gave him unfair credit but Bones knows better. Jules was one of the best cosmetic chemists of all-time and not a man to take credit he didn't deserve. So let's give the Doc some credit. Because of him we live in a country where smelling bad is a choice not a neccesity, where girls smell as good at 5 in the afternoon as they did at 9 in the morning and where the husky, bald guy in your local pick up game should smell the same as everyone else. Believe Bones that Jules spot is warranted and save yourself a trip to France.
