Did Goldman Sachs send cases of windex to Governor Herbert? I can see all of Utah legislators being sent dozens of bottles by Energy Solutions.

lemon, maybe

If it is the lemon kind, maybe.

Because real Windex STINKS. Ugh. (notice to car rental companies: use something else. Real Windex smells awful and lingers forever.)

Virtue smells like windex?

We're talking about BYU here. I thought down there virtue smells like ice cream?

Fresh Lemon Scent

If I was in a room with a strong Windex odor I would give more money to get out too!

This is interesting that smell influences human behavior. Many insects are governed or influenced by various smells. The best examples I can think of is the honey bee that becomes very defensive at a smell simular to bananas but calms down with the smell of lemongrass. They are very governed by a wide variesty of smells that influence behavior.

Wow...maybe I'll start sending cleaning mercenaries or ninjas to douse potential client's offices with lemon scented Windex before I meet with them to sign a contract.

Another brilliant example of how sacred Tithing funds are being used to study such all important things as... how lemon fresh scent promotes ethical behavior?

Can I get a refund on my tithing?

You Got to be Kidding!

This is where research monies go?!?!? I will send my donations to UVU where my grandkids will get a meaningful education.

I hear BYU is raising the tuition. I guess that Windex was pretty darned expensive! Or was it the salaries of those overpaid seminary teachers they call professors?

another reason why BYU's football team can't show up for the big game. The Utes however are going to show BYU how to stop the Horned Frog from Jumping all over them.

Kidding: Sorry to break it to you, but this study is much more useful, conclusive, simple and inexpensive than most behavioral science studies. (Which is why it made the news.) If you have trouble with this one, most studies that get funding would make your head spin.
