I can't remember the last time I did anything really stupid which is quite worrying as it can't have been all that long ago.

Here's a good one for you. I was in the Maldives for my Honeymoon not 3 weeks back. Well, I have a touch of dry skin on my inner thigh, touch of eczema so to say. I'd forgot my usual meds so I just used some antiseptic cream to sooth the itching, great it worked. 2nd week i'm in the bathroom, half a sleep and decide to apply some cream, what did i do, picked up the bloody toothpaste and applied to said eczema, messy. Laugh, I was in tears of laughter for 10mins, what a knob. Wife thought it was darn funny too....

That reminds me of a tale I heard a while back about a bloke who was suffering with haemorrhoids (piles). He was using tubes of Preparation H to sort out that problem. Well, one morning he got up early to go to work in complete darkness due to a power failure but undaunted found his way to his bathroom for the morning ablutions etc. Fumbling about in the bathroom cupboard he found his trusty Preparation H. Job done, he was a happy chappie. But not for long. In the darkness what he had actually found was a tube of Raljex and applied that instead. So for a definition of a rude awakening I guess that just about covers it. :mut:

Always wash your hands very thoroughly after cutting Chilli, the girlfriend may not appreciate your grope a little later. Trust me, the kissing lips are not the only sensitive lips...
