The joy of a new typewriter ribbon

Photo shows the following typewritten text. BEWARE OF HOT RIVETS. I was going to say that there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a new typewriter ribbon but that's not true. Other wonderful feelings include opening a fresh bag of coffee and smelling that great aroma; stepping from a barbershop into a windy day and delighting as a thousand crew-cut hairs urge you to be happy; an pulling on a warm pair of jeans fresh from the dryer ... but make sure you're wearing underwear.

Oh yeah, those are all peak moments. Another typewriter-related one: the smell of a freshly recovered platen from J. J. Short.
