An amusing story

babysimonYesterday Trish and I went to the supermarket. While there, I bought some shaving gel.
Trish had previously bought a can of the same brand gel from Boots, and rather annoyingly it appeared to have no propellant in it - the can was heavy and obviously full of gel, but only tiny little dribbles came out. So I wanted to test the can before buying it.
I squirt a bit into my hand. Great - it works. Stick it in the trolley. Ah. Now I have a hand full of shaving gel. Hmm. I know - my hair is full of gel, I'll rub it in my hair and no-one will notice.
I've been shaving with a blade for many years now, so how I forgot that shaving gel turns into foam when you lather it escapes me.
Fortunately there was a very sweet woman working in the supermarket who was able to lend me her cloth, but I felt very stupid. And stank of menthol all the way home.
