the sweet smell of success

well, if you are a bowler, you might hope that success goes along with the sweet smell. My sister recently had her car stolen from her driveway in Boise. Her husband was warming up the car and he went back in to say goodbye to the kids and someone came and swiped the car, which also had his wallet, watch, the kids' car seats and two bowling balls in the trunk. A week later they did recover the car, sans radio and everything inside it. A week or so after that, they found the kids that had taken the car, but their stuff was still a loss.

But now, Misty and Tom can replace their lost bowling balls with yes, you are reading this correctly--scented bowling balls!!

Peter Zuzga / AP file. Joe Cerar, owner of the Bowlers Pro Shop in Milwaukee, smells an amaretto scented bowling ball in his shop.

Apparently they are quite popular with pro bowlers--over half used them last year during the PBA tour last year. The balls, made by Storm, has around 40 different scented balls, such as black cherry, chocolate, lemonade, plum, blueberry, grape, banana, cinnamon, orange, amaretto and cherry.

Mmm. Amaretto. If I were going to be buying a bowling ball, that would do it for me...
