Yeah, but a lot of people use the pansy ass scheme as to not burn their fingers. You fold the front cover back over the back and squeeze the match between the cover and the sandpaper, then pull it out reall quick-like. Keeps the flaming sulphur off your fingers.
Continuing the thread: Bumper cars. What drunken carnie came up with the idea of putting up ‘do not bump’ signs on a ride called ‘bumper cars’?
Second, DMSO. They may sell it and say it’s a solvent, but you don’t get solvents in 3 oz roll-ons or as a gel.
Brass knuckles. They’re always sold for use as paperweights.
Adult toys. They’re always ‘sold as a novelty only’.
Yeah, those are a bit obscure, but Q-tips was the first thing I thought of, too… I’m not having nearly as much fun as my four items suggest.
Yep, that’s the stuff. It’s supposed to be carcinogenic I think. There is a specialty store here that will sell it to me, but under the counter. Ssshhhh…
Narrad - you’re not supposed to apply the patch for 24 hours. You put it on for the normal amount of time you’d put bleach on, and then wait 24 hours to see if you have an adverse reaction.
King size rizla papers (which are ostensibly sold for people like lorry drivers who can’t stop to roll lots of little cigarettes. It is a pure coincidence that they are exactly the same size as a doobie).
Baseball bats are also popular in London and I don’t know anyone who even knows the rules of baseball.
Dope seeds, which are freely sold in the UK, which come in a packet with “Germination of these seeds is illegal in the UK”. People obviously buy them for their ornamental value.
The all night shops in Kings Cross sell a lot of lemons to the street people. They’re not cooking with them (well they are in a way, just not Delia Smith type cooking). Ditto baking powder.
CD burners come with a stern warning about copyright theft.
Lemons are used to sterlise needles so they can be shared and baking powder is a crucial ingredient in the manufacture of crack cocaine (I won’t be more specific, but you need it).
The all night shops have all the usual late night things (pot noodles, porn, frozen pizzas etc) and a big rack of lemons and baking powder. For people making all night lemon sponges apparently.
Just to add a little boring seriousness to a great thread-
Cytotec which many doctors use to soften the cervex of a pregnant woman so as to induce labor has a warning on its lable that says not to use it in pregnant women.
Found this online- I am sorry I don’t know how to do urls yet.
I looked up Cytotec warning and found out that the company has actually sent an official letter to doctors.
“Searle sent physicians a letter reminding them that Cytotec was not approved for use as a cervical ripening agent and that it was contraindicated for use in pregnancy. The letter listed serious adverse effects associated with using Cytotec, including maternal or fetal death, uterine rupture, and severe vaginal bleeding and shock.” And they use this to induce labor!
(bolding mine)
Bonjela, which is sold as a pain killer to be rubbed on babies gums when they’re teething warns “may cause drowsiness if affected to not operate heavy machinery”
Samclem, you’re supposed to put the bleach in the rinse water! Silly, silly Samclem…
Monster104, 'round here we call 'em “incense burners”!
Cervaise, the obligatory ROTFLMAO!
Back to the topic…
How many of you have “tested in an inconspicuous spot” prior to using fabric shampoo? No ya don’t! You just slather the foam all over & start cleaning. If it does change color, you just say, “Man, that couch was dirtier than I thought!”
The British army buys an AWFUL lot of condoms. Not for the obvious purpose, they go over the end of your rifle when youve cleaned it to stop you having to clean it again.
