I mistook my wife's KY for facial moisturizer this morning.

Okay, okay. So I'm not exactly a morning person, and at 42, I need my glasses for most things.

I realized my skin was dry this morning. The consistency of a Hostess fruit pie crust, to be exact. So I went for some of Mrs. Arbusto's moisturizer in the medicine chest. It felt rather odd going on to my face, but it was the familiar smell that made me say, "Wha...huh?"

Okay. Everyone can commence laughing at me and telling me what a fool I am.

1. Why would you put Kentucky on your face?

[arbusto_baboso]

3. It's much cleaner than Arkansas.

[HopeHoops]

2. It is water based - cleans up much easier than vaseline.

Not that I know from experience!
:blush:

4. There are a lot of things I discovered about the, uh, properties of KY...

Like how even though it's water based, it takes on a peculiar form/consistency when water contacts it....

Once again, it made me wonder at all the crap women have to put up with.

[HopeHoops]

6. They're worth it ;}

We have to be accommodating sometimes - okay, a lot of the time.

[arbusto_baboso]

9. And we men in-the-know are damn glad of it!

We just need gentle reminders to be grateful from time to time.

18. I like the line from "In The Mood" - "Women are good. Women are VERY good."

You have to treat your woman right. That's all there is to it. Simple way to deal with it. Treat your woman right.

5. Ha! I used Prep H for toothpaste one time.

[HopeHoops]

7. Beats using Ben Gay in place of Prep H!

That's from an actual news story from the early 70's. Back when there were streakers all over the place, the cops caught some 80 year old guy and that's what he had done. He figured running in the cold air naked would help.

8. When I worked at MGH years ago, people would come into the EW all the time with that problem

[Brigid]

10. You made this up.

Come on now, admit it. :p

[arbusto_baboso]

13. Wish I had. I don't like looking the fool.

[guitar man]

11. eh, been there, sort of

I've had my wife's KY on my face, but not because I mistook it for facial moisturizer :evilgrin:

[Brigid]

12. OK, as we say in my family:

Too much information! x(

[arbusto_baboso]

14. Yeah, me too. But that's intentional....

so you don't find me posting sheepishly about it. :blush:

[RadiationTherapy]

15. Your wife's KY? Do you have your own stash or something?

[DS1]

16. HA!

[arbusto_baboso]

17. NO! I use Astroglide, thank you very much....

If it's good enough for Ron Jeremy, it's good enough for me.

Of course, pretty much anything is good enough for Ron Jeremy.....

19. When I was a kid, I once brushed my teeth with my dad's Brylcreem

It was pretty nasty.
