Didn't have my readers on and managed to brush my teeth with cortisone cream instead of Crest. Tasted kinda bitter-bland, and now my gums are numb. Knew this would happen sooner or later.

My wifes uncle was bald and I have no idea why he would be using Brylcreem (the hair dressing that a little dab will do you)but he grabbed a tube of Deep Heat. His head was burning and his mouth felt funny. His wifes mouth also felt funny. They had gotten their dentures switched.

My Dad told the story about one year in hunting camp (Airstream) one of the members kept getting up early, banging around in the dark and brushing his teeth among other things. He was loud enough about it to wake them every morning but the crowning morning was when he got his tube of "Ben-Gay" instead of his tooth paste.

Bill, many years ago when I was stilled married to my ex, her Grandpa came to stay for a while + I heard him one morning in the bathroom shouting out "This Brylcreem toothpaste tastes like shit!"
When I was much younger, "getting lucky" had a particular connotation. These days, "getting lucky" means walking from one room into the other and remembering why I did!
A while back I confessed to mistakenly applying cortisone cream to my toothbrush. Well, this morning I got into the shower only to realize I had my glasses on. Someone please tell me I am not the first human being ever to make this goof.

Bill, don't worry, Einstein used to fall out of cars because he forgot to shut the door + looked for his glasses when they were on the top of his head. You're in good company.

Had a lady at work do that a few years back. Rinse with cold water to crystalize the glue. A Dr. can them pick the crystals out with tweezers.

Many years ago when my boys were little, I came down to breakfast to find my youngest in tears. Mom was DEMANDING that he eat his grapefruit half after she sugared it + he refused with tears in his eyes the size of horse turds. Seems she had used salt instead of sugar.
That would not be a tasty grapefruit. That reminds me of my recent trip to visit my mother at Thanksgiving time. She has a water softener. I made coffee one morning and just could not drink it. It sure tasted off but I couldn't place the problem.
Weeks later she told me someone else was visiting and went to get a drink of water and it was salty.

All of us out here in the country are on well water. About 25 years ago a newcomer (of northern persuasion) moved out here + although all our wells are at approx. 600' + in the 3rd Trinity Aquifer, this jack leg wanted to go to 900', just because he was new, a Yankee, = thought he knew it all. Anyway he hit 900' + hit salt water. The well people capped it immediately (Thank GOD) = he was told to never try to drill that deep again. The whole community would have been affected by his Yankee ways. IMO, that kind of behavior justify public hanging.
