It smells real bad! What kind of noxious, pernicious, poisonous, vile, chemically treated paper are they using anyway? I passed out from the fumes 3 pages in and had to be airlifted to the hospital. I want answers!!

Captain,

That is the smell of freshly cured lacquer. You must have gotten a copy so fast that it didn't have time to sufficiently out gas before it went into the envelope. You must be a preferred customer. Or your last name begins with A?

You're not actually supposed to smoke the PICTURES of the cigars. They are for display purposes only.

Rub your Playboy magazine on it, it will get rid of the stink on the Holt's and the stick ... er um, static on the Playboy. :-)

Let's see, my last name start with "W" and mine still needed a hazmat suit to be read!

I kinda like the smell (of the catalog). Brings back memories of the ditto sheets my teachers handed out in grammer school. :-)

Sounds like I should be glad that I'm not on the Holt's mailing list.
