Title: Drummed out of the Regiment?
Post by: tim on July 28, 2007, 11:36:49
Leapt to Wife's aid - chunk out of her arm with a sharp branch - got out the Savlon spray which is SOP for this sort of thing - ow! that hurts more than usual - double check - it was Insect Repellent.

But after washing & re-spraying, She's OK!

What is it with savlon and mistaken identity. I once cleaned my teeth with it.

Big beefy mountaineering friend confessed to spraying Mr Sheen on his hair instead of hairspray.   Took him a fraction of a second by the looks on our faces to realise how bad a mistake he'd made by letting out his BIG secret.

I've rubbed deep heat onto an insect bite instaed of Anti histamine cream.  My advice - don't.
