In the book Last Change to See, Douglas Adams mentions that the BBC recommends slipping a condom over a microphone to convert it to a hydrophone. He recanted how difficult it was to purchase condoms in China - all the druggists wanted to selll him some sort of oral birth control.
Whoops, that should be Last Chance to see…
As a nervous flier, I find that it is the best policy to violate the prohibition against mixing valium and a double scotch. Once the dose is administered, the pilots can do barrel rolls through thunder storms and I’m actually enjoying it.
Cervaise, you and I could exchange smoke signals. It’s impossible to use to much lighter fluid.

How did that happen?
Those “dope” seeds are also available in Canada. Most commonly in health food stores. They are hemp seeds – yes, cannabis. They do not have the level of THC that could make you stoned. Conceivably, you could try to germinate them, but you’d probably end up with a very sad, weedy little plant that likely won’t get you stoned, but as a controlled plant, will get you arrested.
Hemp seeds are very high in protein and IIRC iron as well. I use to nibble on them at work the way one does sunflower seeds. I liked them cause they aren’t as messy (no shelling) but they have the annoying habit of rolling all over the place if you spill them.
I would tend to agree, with an exception made for whatever one substitutes when one is out of the correct stuff. I speak from experience: One time, I soaked the charcoal with white gas (i.e. camping fuel), and the WHUMP of ignition blew me halfway across the patio.
Actually, the bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide has on it’s label as directions for use, and I quote:
Now as for a contribution to the thread, who here actually just puts a pea-sized bit of toothpaste on their toothbrush? Who here always thoroughly rinses to reduce swallowing of said product?
Also a can of mosquito get (OFF!) makes a handy dandy flamethrower. And my dad has used a car battery to start a fire before. And then there are of course all those times I’ve opened a packedge with a sharp object. 
There is a brand of cotton swab for babies’ ears. It’s got a HUGE ball of cotton at either end so that you can’t stick it in too far.

Well that’ll do it, I suppose. :o
But still, who wants to wait 24 hours? I want crazy hair now, dammit!
Nope, not in the UK. They’re imported from Holland and are the real deal alright. It s a legal loophole. “Homegrown” is now very common.
(And we’ve just decriminalised dope anyway).
I’ve drunk beer and then had an earth moving experience… 
Personally, regardless of the rules we break, I think these instructions should be carried out to the letter…
I have been known to hot-plug parallel and serial devices on computers, in direct violation of instructions to shut off power before doing so.
I wasn’t paying attention and used a torque wrench to snap off a bolt holding on the oil pan of a car. Damnit! The instructions said you wouldn’t hear the click, but I still listened for one. The bolt shaft is still stuck in the oil pan flange.
Once I dumped some commercial cleaning liquid and some Clorox Clean-Up into a toilet at work. Good thing the bathroom had a fan in it.
If I’m sitting in a roller chair, I prefer to wheel my way to the printer, someone else’s computer when they need help, etc. I’ve been yelled at for this.
Two pages of abusing products and noone has mentioned sniffing glue to get high? Lacquer thinner? Scotch Guard?
Q-tips… SHEESH!
OK, I’ve stopped laughing now. It took me TWENTY MINUTES, but I’ve stopped. And I’m OK - my ribs will heal, honest. No wait, the giggles are coming back as I read it again - and think of how I barbeque…
Thanks for the laugh, Cervaise I needed that today.
As for me, I’m always using paint thininer and turpentine to clean paint and grease off my hands after doing a project around the house or in the garage - and I don’t call the poison control center when it comes in contact with skin or mucous membranes. (which, in fact, come to think of it, probably explains a lot about me…)
Bag Balm http://www.bagbalm.com/
It’s a sort of petroleum jelly with antiseptic ingredients that is made, as the name and labeling show, for veterinary use, primarily cow’s udders. Many people including myself use it on themselves for minor rashes, chapping or abrasions. It’s so popular that they’ve started selling it in normal drugstores in a teeny tiny pocket sized tin - which, I believe, still says “for veterinary use only”.
Well, I wouldn’t say this happens often, as far as I know, but I had a roommate who was taught (by her mother, apparently an old family remedy) to, when she had a sore throat, gargle with
PEROXIDE.
She never understood why I found this so appalling.
I know I’m naive, but you lost me. Were they using the foil to cook some drug or other?
Slight, momentary hijack…
Kalashnikov, regarding Bag Balm, I wonder if this is a New England thing - I grew up in Maine and Massachusetts and I knew about Bag Balm from the time I was a little kid. It’s great for rope burns, chapped hands, “field foot” and all those other weather-induced, work aggravated maladies that get after your hands and feet.
Out here where I live now, I can’t find three people who even know what the stuff is in the first place - when I do, they can’t believe that anyone would EVER use it on themselves! I just figure they don’t knwo a good thing.
Yup they use the foil to make crack pipes and/or to chase heroin.
Also Junkies suffer from terrible constipation (think a life long diet of immodium) and chocolate is about the only thing they can eat.
