Okay, the fryer at work. The brush I use to clean it was wet in the middle and all this lovely hot oil came bubbling up to my wrist. OW! Many words in the black tongue of Mordor were said.
I am very, very lucky though - just a few blisters on my fingers. Aloe is a gift from the gods.
Spoiler saturated joke-post ahead: [Frodo]At lease you HAVE all your fingers!![/Frodo]
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Mordor
There lived a young one name of N.D.S
And one day some water ran off - into the deep-fry
Nearly hit young N.D. in the eye
N.D. didn’t like that
He said “I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!!”
Sorry. Little Beatle-obsessed today.
Uh, I substituted “N” for “H” there for some really clever compositional purpose that’s far too complicated to explain, or something. Just cock your head 45 degrees to the right when you read it.
I used to work in a bakery and the worst thing that burned us was hot caramel. It was thick and molten so when you reacted to wipe it off your arm it would just spread that stuff and make things worse. We didn’t know about aloe vera back then so all we had was ice for relief.

giggles Well written. I’m a girl, though - I really should have a more descriptive user name.
And I know how to quote, too. Oops.
Cute joke, BuckleberryFerry !
