I love the smell of hot tar in the morning. When they are tarring the street or parking lot, I would head out to the poolroom for the day, but I would always stop and get a little hot tar to chew on. There's nothing to match the taste of hot tar.

I always seemed to play a little better with just a pinch of hot tar between my cheek & gums. I prefer the 'old' tar to this new tar.

Each to their own Smorg. Ain't no reflection on the smell of tar.

But, for me it's Napalm. "You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning." ...

TAR has been used for years to seal wooden ships. Those aboard the TAR ship have probably heard the expression, "The devil to pay."

The keel of a wooden ship is made of a much larger thickness running board than those around it and extends the length of the ship. The lowest seam in the ship next to the keel was referred to as, "The devil." This seam was usually wider in places than all others and required stuffing cordage in the larger spaces and caulking them with pay (hot pitch...TAR.)

This was impossible to do without first beaching the ship at high tide and ripping out the old seal. (This seam was the last to uncover and the first to cover.) Then it was a race against the clock before the tide rolled in. It is this urgency that gave rise to the phrase: "The devil to pay." Originally, it was something like, "Hurry up (with the other seams), there's (still) the devil to pay.
