So Dr. Albracht, D.O., prescribes Flonase® for my extreme case of nasal congestion. Hooray!, I’m thinking. Finally some relief!
So I get the script filled and head home. I open up the box, and there I see it. The bottle has a plastic tip, about half an inch in diameter and about an inch long. Oh my God it’s an enema! :eek:
Oh, wait. reads directions
Oh, OK. It’s not an enema. No, it’s worse. I’m supposed to stick that thing into my nose! :eek:
Ooh, this is weird. I’m supposed to stick this little plastic hoopajoo up my nose and squirt. EEEeeeeeewwwwwww!
So, I’m litterally quivering as I stick the tip up my schnozz. It takes every last bit of gumption for me to finally press the little button. Gah!
:shudder:
On the upside, Flonase® leaves your nose smelling of lilacs.
But am I the only one who is envious of the parallel-universe version of myself who’s just read your post in which you state that you didn’t read the instructions and thereby squirted 4 ounces of the industrial-strength equivalent of horse liniment up your ass?
Einstein be damned. If I listen hard enough I can just about hear me laughing…
I don’t think you’re completely alone, Xerxes. Do you continue the view into the parallel-universe (as I do) all the way to the point where, after having used it improperly, and it doesn’t work, rastahomie goes back and actually reads the directions? Then, a horrible decision must be made: go back to the doctor and tell him what you did, or, clean it up and use it per the directions
Always, always read the label of ANYTHING you are about to squirt into an orifice. A couple of months ago I had a horrible head cold and remembered I had a nasal squirt decongestant thinger in my medicine cabinet. After insertion, a hearty squeeze, and a strange burning sensation I realized I was holding a bottle of ear wax remover. :eek:
Always, always, always read the label.
Those damn bottles look exactly the same, I swear it!
former poster Satan and his then gf Heather had a thread about him…ummmm…having…ummm… <mumble…mumble> strap on/dildo <mumble…mumble> inserted…ummmm “there” (in Satan, that is…)
Gee thanks, thinksnow. I was going to do some work this afternoon but I’ve got no chance now. I’m hooked, I tell ya. I’m off to the classics thread and if I’m not back by teatime, have someone come looking…
Sheeit! Just read the ‘Funny things people have said’ thread. Oh. My. God. Classic. I have a feeling I’m going to rather enjoy the rest of the afternoon…
