The Big Facts
Who regulates BFI's use of alcohol?
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
Once upon a time I made a campfire in the woods. A duck came up to me. It looked at me curiously before biting me. The next thing I knew, I was thrown into the fire, and in the resulting process, I was transformed! My flesh turned brown, and the duck had quacked in delight at the change in flavor.

When the duck had finished making a meal of me, I took my change and escaped. Now as nothing more than bones, I wandered the forest until I stumbled on two squirrels bickering. One was drunk, a dripping shot glass on its head. The other complained about being conned because their cherry drink underwent some process and spoiled.

Me: If I ever get divorced, I want my next ring to be in the shape of a flavor chemical sub-group that typically smells like cream or tape.

Which flavor chemical smells the most like mushrooms?
1-Octen-3-Ol
The squirrel fight ended badly. With only a skeleton I was not strong enough to prevent it. But, as the animals mauled each other, I watched as the stomach acid from one mixed with the alcohol spilled from the shot glass. The wretched sight seemed to cause a process, and resulted in a pleasant fruity smell.
Esterfication
Me: I should build a statue of the basic structure of a flavor chemical group that generally makes up the oils those weirdo cultists use.
Also me: How do I make the voice stop, it is so loud, I need to research if someone can go deaf from their own thoughts.

I leaned in close and touched at the strange smelling mixture. Within moments my bones dissolved to fat and seemed to heat up. The salts in my bones melted into a crystal plate. Petals from nearby flowers seem to spontaneously rip off their stems and fall into the soft boiling fat. And through some process, the fat seem to smell like the petals.
Hot Enfleurage

Seeing as I will never be able to have a healthy life as a skeleton, I decided to lay my bones one by one in the boiling mixture. The more I added, the hotter and more aromatic the fat became. Eventually when I rolled my skull into the pool, some process had turned me, the petals, the squirrels, and the crystals into a gas that escaped into the air, forever free.
Vaporization
Me: After taking multiple medications and failing therapy after therapy, I am just going to get a lobotomy. I requested this. The surgeon told me if it is successful, he will give me a lollypop made from the flavor chemicals that make up Citral. Well, here I go...
Also me: ...Impulent fool, I was never in his brain...I was always in the walls!
