Skunkmonkey 

When you go camping with a girl thats been hiking for a few days without a shower. When she takes her panties off, her monkey (vagina) smells like a skunk that has just sprayed the inside of the tent. Legend has it that native american tibes in the everglades used to roll in the skunkmonkey juice as a repellant to the Skunk Ape ( a mythical bigfoot type creature) that lives in the swamps of Florida. Further testing is needed to find out if this is true though. So if you go camping, please tell us of your results.
