From today's Electronic Telegraph:

A NEW range of furnishings that gives off an aroma when sat on has proved so successful that staff are working overtime to meet demand.

The latest technology in three-piece suites releases a whiff of rose, vanilla or lavender when squashed. A smell of beer, curry or pizza can also be arranged.

Steve Egan, managing director of Contour-Mobel, in Rhondda, south Wales, said: "We were watching the Milan fashion shows and the models were wearing scratch and sniff clothes. I joked that we could do settees which smell - then we thought it might just work. We've been on overtime since we launched last month and 350 have gone out."

Shaved pits and pubes will do a lot; they also can't hide crabs.
