The only way out

The Picard Maneuver
Curated Tumblr...I don't get it. What is this?
An airport
The only way out is through the perfume department
Paris international airport does this. The path to the terminals is literally through a CHANEL store in the airport. Silver lining: the perfume may make you choke but at least it covers the smell of Paris lol
I can smell this picture
This post is about capitalism.
Reasons I spent waaaay too much of my youth training at holding my breath.
Eli5, anyone ?
This is the perfume area of a department store, which were often located near one of the major entrances.
Walking through it is usually a bombardment of different smells, and it can be a lot.
The joke is that you have to go through the horrible perfume tunnel to get to where you want to go inside the store (or the mall, if connected). It can be especially bad around the winter holidays and when it’s cold out, which is why everyone has long sleeves in the photo.
A lot of places you could go around, it was just a longer walk.
Perfume section stinky, many scary people try to sell you things, can’t get to toys without going through them :(
Thank you
You’re welcome 🙏
Specifically, this still is from an episode of SpongeBob called Shanghaied, also known as the You Wish Special because when it originally aired you could call in to vote on the ending.
For whatever reason, on every mall I've been to, you have to go through the perfume section to get between the escalator, interior doors, and exterior doors to leave the department store.
I have a very sensitive nose, and so this was torture for me. Even as an adult I would hold me breath the whole time.
Are you no longer an adult now that you are a pirate?
Like the rest of us, they just no longer visit department stores, or the mall.
Then what does being an adult have to do with it?
I was also an adult the last time I visitted the mall, years-ago. Were you an adult the last time you went to a mall? Has that changed in the manner of "was an adult but now am not"? Is you a pirate now, or a Benjamin Button?
I do not understand.
... As an adult, I would ...
The past tense "was" implies that you are no longer an adult.
... hold me breath ...
Yarr, be ye holding yer breath, matey?
Combining these two pieces of information, I can infer that you have transformed from an adult into a pirate. Congratulations.
It really doesn't though. Linguistic conventions don't override reality, and reality doesn't follow linguistic conventions. The reverse, however...
The law of humor supersedes all of these.
spongebob reference. I assume you arent 22-30.
I saw that episode live, I’m in my mid 30s.
Corridor of witches. Highly likely you'll catch a hex or two on your way through, if you make it out at all.
