OK people we need a bit of a rise, A BIT?
Goddess I haven't had a laugh for weeks.

Funny stuff. Lets get some laughs going.

OK what funny stuff have you seen, and want to do. You crazy USA people have Halloween, tell us the good stuff. Guy Fawkes Night in the UK, do you have parties? Why not?
OK fun stuff. Fun parties you are going to, have  been to, or want to go to. Come on girls and boys. Party.I went to a party where everyone had to come in full body rabbit costumes!  They acted like rabbits.  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) >:-)

Cindy

 OK Cindy,

This isn't entirely funny but maybe it will make you smile. This really happened.

  My mom is dealing with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. She tries to cope by being funny and positive. But then again she's always been witty and funny. When she can't remember something  jokingly, she refers to it as her "sometimers" "cause sometimes I can remember things and sometimes I can't.

    My wife an I were visiting my parents about a month ago. We had just finished a dinner out. When we walked out of the restaurant we decided to take a stroll down the beach. My mother said  "boy,  I wish I brought my coat" .  My wife said "it's here grandma" and pointed down to the coat.  My mom was a little embarrassed and once again referred to the problem as her sometimers. Trying to be a little encouraging my wife said, " well you know mom, they say it helps if you read each day and learn something new each day". My mom quickly spoke up in a witty voice and said "I do, My address". We all laughed so hard. My mother is such a great and witty person, I love her.

    I mean no disrespect for anyone who has or is dealing with Alzheimer's.  Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying.

OK, I started it. Now lets hear somthing really funny from someone else!!

  Erocse

Nice story erocse.

I just wish I could think of a funny anecdote, but I don't have any. It's not that things are particualy bad, they are really just very stable.

If I can think of one I'll post it.

Cindy, I saw something last night that I found kind of amusing.. Sandra being pissed off and angry.. I found it amusing because she reminded me of someone I knew.. And don't you dare tell her I found her behaviour amusing - I'm concerned she may rip my head off.. :)

Well I guess I can add a little something that happend to me a few months ago if ya'll don't mind rude humor..actually this is kinda embarrsing. Well I have an "talent" for belching really loudly (I can't help it an it's a wonder I don't hurt my throat). Anyway, my mom and I was sitting in the car at a gas station and the car next to us had a couple of preppy chicks in it, well I had to belch and I thought it wouldn't be so loud, I was horribly wrong. It was an monster belch it was so loud not only my mom but those two poor girls about got whiplash over it. Them girls whipped their heads at me eyes really big and they busted out laughing. My mom was like god *insert name here* and laughed at me as well. I was so embarrsed I just sunk down in my seat, but in the end I was laughing at myself cause I must admitt that was a good one lolz.

That is funny..... I laughed hard.
I wish I could share something funny but everyone who knows me knows I am humor challenged. :) At best my sense of humor is off. (but I keep practicing anyway. I may never be witty but I try)

Appreciate everbody's stories.  I have nothing to add.  My life is basically solitary and nondescript.  Never get invited to any parties and probably wouldn't go if I did.  My sense of humor is alive and well.  Thanks for your posts.  Love em. 

Hmmm ... !  We crazy Americans often just bonk out on Halloween and do weird crap!  The city I'm in here in the Great Pacific Northwest prides itself on being weird and far-out.  Well, the most popular local radio station has this Halloween party planned called Erotic Halloween Party.  They do promos, of course.  One promo has the announcer, "Charlie Girl," trying to decide what she's gonna be at party.  One of her choices is a nudist!

Well, yours truly is a card-carrying nudist (American Association of Nude Recreation) and has been to clothing-optional resorts many times.  Somebody dared me to show up at that party "au naturel."  Shameless hussey that I am, I actually considered it!    :o

Reason got the better of me, and I opted out of it.  Now, were it 20 years ago ... !  It'd be a SCREAM though:  "Oh, CHRIST!  Check out the naked babe!  What?!?   Holy freakin' s---!!!  A d--- and b-----!!!!!!!   Call the cops!  Don't look, Mildred!"   Even I'm not THAT shameless!    ;)

Our city actually has a nude bike ride every year right through downtown ..., and nobody gives a damn!  This place! 

Hahahaha, well mine is probably stupid cause Im fairly immature...but,

Last night I was working...I work at mcdonalds ::)...and I was mopping the floors. We have this new manager, she is pretty fat and was really starting to annoy me. She said I was mopping all wrong and decided to show me how it was really done. She took the mop off me, dunked it in the water inside the mop bucket and started to squeeze it out really hard. She put all her weight and pressure on the mop and it actually broke. She fell over on the floor onto her stomach cause of the force, while knocking over all the dirty water in the mop bucket too  :D It looked like it had flooded in here! She was lying on her stomach in the water hahahaha! I laughed so hard :P But so did this other guy that saw it. The other crew members noticed the water leaking through other parts of the floor and came over to see the manager swimming in it. She got up and was soaking wet  :D Oh and it all happened directly in front of the security camera  ;D

   I like to laugh so I will try to keep this post going. :laugh:

  You know how people get idioms mixed up, well my family is notorious for doing this.

   This is one my dad said. He was trying to give my brother some advice. He got three idioms mixed up all at once. The idioms were, "you have to take the bull by the horns" and  " bite the bullett" and "he's got you by the balls" It came out like this. ???

  "Sometimes you just have to bite the bull in the balls"  :laugh:

  I though it was sooo funny !!!!

A week or two ago, before I had come out to any of my kids, my youngest (19) got a new Blackberry.  Of course he was thrilled with it.  Anyway, after dinner he and his older (24) brother were sitting in the living room watching TV and waiting for Mom to get the dishes ready for drying.  Youngest son is playing with the Blackberry... taking pictures and stuff.  So I looked at him and said: "Well, you don't have to just sit there playing with it all night."  And his older brother piped up immediately with, "That's what SHE said..."  I nearly peed my pants, thinking (if he only knew!).  Well, now he knows, but I doubt he's put it together like I did...

Colleen,
That would have gave me a giggle too.  :laugh: I am sure your son had no clue why you felt it so funny.

  I went to a comedy club last night and heard this one.

   Knock, Knock.

  Who's there?

  Atheist.

  Atheist, who?

   Oh wait a minute I'm an atheist ,I'm not
  going to be knocking on your GD door at eight
  in the morning. :laugh:

   OK that wasn't too funny but since I used to be one of those
  guys who knocks on your door at eight in the morning, It's funny to me. :o

A little bit of background:  I do a lot of dancing and both lead and follow.  We had a blues (a type of swing dance) Halloween party a few days ago.  Blues dancing is really close to the other person.  (Here's an example of blues if you're curious.  I had never heard of it before my first day dancing it. SDFX_11_ChrisMayer_CampbellMiller.flv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNqJ42klxuI#) )

Anyways, I was dancing with a friend of mine who was dressed as David Bowie from Labyrinth.

It took me a bit of "what the hell?!" before I realized that he had just *ahem* stuffed for realism.  Things were really awkward for a bit before I got the chance to look down.

I wrote a poem for halloween!....

witches, ghosts, candy and candy
all these things are oh so dandy
death, blood, and scary pumpkins
the curse of murder and bringing home no candy

oh how I need to be treated so very very treated
no candy for the goblin no candy for the skeleton
for you and your door a rotten egg perhaps a roll of TP
no house will be left unraided before the night does faded
unless the night falls too far and my phone goes *doot doot* ...
"the sun has gone down now so get your ass home
and you better have candy.......
...or heads will roll.....mwwahahaaha!".
*looks in bag of loot* "oh crap!".

oh this is cool! way better than reading about transphobic news stories. doh i wish i had something to put here! dang... >:(
I'll have to think of one and put it here soon i love being funny ;D

I guess the funniest thing revolving me is that I have crabs.   And they're not small crabs either and their colony seems to keep growing and growing no matter what I do.

--Did I tell you that they're hermit crabs?--

For me it, it is so funny to see the looks that people give me.  Though I have to constantly put up with, "You have crabs!" or "Don't take down your pants!"

A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub."


Halloween Things That Sound Dirty But Aren't

I've posted this before. Years ago when Saturday Night Fever was at its height we had a guy come into casualty form a disco. He had ruptured his knee. He had tight pants on and seemed rather endowed. When his tight pants were cut off he had a rolled up magazine taped to his thigh. He was just a little bit embarrassed. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

ROTFL!!!  That made my day!!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

this might be funny and can be taken as halloween themed:

a,b,c,d,e,f,g,
gummy bears are chasing me,
one is red, one is blue,
blue one pissin up my shoe,
now I'm running for my life,
coz the red one has a knife,

haha i love the internet random status shuffles just like:

I'm a bird, moo!
is bored crazy by spicy meteors
just learned he is made of miniscule umbrellas
is testing his juicer on hilarious monkeys
who decided that paper defeats rock? have somebody hold a sheet of paper in front of their face, then toss a rock at it, who wins?
how does rock beat scissors? you throw a rock at me and let me stab you with scissors, let's see who wins.
if somebody throws skittles at me and yells "taste the rainbow!" I'm going to throw a 2 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper and yell "trust me I'm the doctor!"
cops never think it's as funny as you do. they sent me a picture of me speeding, so i sent them a picture of a check...so they sent me a picture of handcuffs.

"Red Dwarf" moment-  what happens if there is a fire when they are conducting a Fire Alarm Test??

Love 'Red Dwarf'

Yesterday I was running a little late, mostly because now it takes me about two hours to get dressed . But I enjoy it. :)  So I ran in to take a quick shower. Afterward I threw on just the chenille sweater I was wearing  just to cover up a bit. I ran into get dressed. I finished my hair and makeup, took off the sweater and went to get dressed. As I passed the mirror, I had a heart attack. I had sprouted black hair all over my body. OMG !!!! :o  I thought did I forget to take my spiro ?? Am I having some sort a tolerance problem with my E ???  I was panicked. As I got closer to the mirror I realized that I could rub off the black hairs. They were from the chenille sweater.  Boy was I relieved. :laugh:

     Erocse

Erocse's story about her mom reminded me of a friend of mine.  She doesn't have Alzheimer's but claims she's come down with CRS because she can't remember sh**.

I went to one of my favorite restaurants today.  The staff was dressed in costume because of Halloween.  One waiter looks amazingly like Tiger Woods and so dressed like him.  Knowing that, a blonde waitress came as Elin Woods and brought a golf club to chase after him for cheating on her.

Hey! What happened to my post? I must've clicked the wrong place when I went to edit it  ::)

Oh well... Anyway, My bike got away from me when I went to leave the store yesterday and a rodeo rider guy roped it with a lasso just before it nearly hit a car

I was a little embarrassed at the time but it was definitely weird and kinda funny now  :laugh:

Haha Virginia, that is awesome.

I have lost my sense of humour because susan smited one of my posts because she takes life too seriously. *sad*.

I was sitting at an outdoor cafe the other morning (Friday) before doing the Of Montreal show.  There was this nice older couple from Texas (not happy campers) and I started talking to them, we talked baseball (of course) and I tried to give them a few of my better SF tourist tips and that kind of stuff.  Now the cafe was down in the Embarcadero Center, big time corporate and international banks and finance offices.  Now in San Fran everyday is Halloween and Halloween is as close as we come to an annual civil sacred holiday and there were a lot of people walking around, obviously going to work, in costuming of some sort and the lady was pretty astonished by the number of adults getting into the Halloween spirit.  "Y'all really do dress up for Halloween round here don't you (she didn't end it with 'sugar' but it was implied)?  I turned to her husband and said "Well in the spirit of full disclosure the fact is that for about half of those people Halloween has nothing to do with it, they dress like that all the time."

He about fell out of his chair laughing.

Haha, I'm heading to SF for the first time in a few weeks, and really looking forward to it!  Feel free to share some of those tourist tips!

This just happened to me tonight. I just got a cute new sweater dress and yes it is very short. I couldn't wait to wear it . I decided I would wear out to dinner tonight with my wife. I did and we had a nice time. After dinner my wife asked if we could stop by the mall to look for a pair of shoes. I said yes and we went to the mall. As we were walking into the mall, I felt a little awkward down between my legs. Then I remembered , I was wearing a pair of my "not so favorite panties." The reason why they are not one of my favorite panties is that sometimes they just don't hold me , the way that I need them to. In particular my testes . They have been known to slip out a time or two. So I notified my wife that we should try to find a restroom quick. We headed toward Macy's. Half way there my wife couldn't resist just a quick stop at the shoe store. I agreed. And wouldn't you know it. They were having a sale. It was buy one get one half off. She found  a pair real quick and told me to find one for myself. I thought it couldn't hurt to wait just a few more minutes. I found a pair and then sat down on one of those small shoe store stools. By then I could feel that one of my testes had slipped loose and was to one side and had slid out the bottom of my panties . But I got so caught up in the moment and wasn't thinking clearly. I slipped my shoes off and raised my foot up and rested it on the stool I was sitting on. (not very lady like, I know) Just then , because of  the position I was sitting and my leg being lifted so high my dress decided to slip right up . Exposing everything. It was not a pretty sight. My wife and I were so embarrassed we left immediately for the restrooms.  Those panties are going in the garbage tonight !!!!! :o

  Erocse

Erocse, that made me crack up.  I'm sure it was embarrassing for you, but it's funny as hell for the rest of us!  :P
Hopefully not all that many people were around. 

Beautiful Erocse,
Just as well someone wasn't helping you with putting the shoes on. :laugh:

Cindy

OMG, that tops everyhing!  I imagine all the rest of the posts in this thread from here on will just be reaction to Erocse's story!  OMG...

T bags any one?

I am so glad that I figured out what is the cause of Erocse's little problem and had it removed.

Quote from: CindyJames on November 02, 2010, 09:40:38 AM

OMG, that's  funnier then the post itself.  My wife didn't get it, I had to  Physically show her.

   Hugs, Erocse

wow i have nothing to top that with erocse, no more attempting to be funny here  :o

Erocse, you've nailed it to the WALL, honey bunch!!!  LMFAO!!!

Thread closed!  Next!     :D :D :D     Ain't NOBODY gonna top THAT!

Yup... Poppin' balls in public is definitely weird, funny and hard to top  :laugh:

This isn't that funny but I think it was cute.

   My wife and I were at a comedy show two weeks ago. The comedian was pretty funny, he was really working the audience. We were sitting very close to the front. At some point he says, to the audience, "any tit-men here tonight? Come on who loves tits?" All the guys started clapping and cheering The funny thing is I found myself clapping and cheering very loud. Only after everything died did I realized that he said "tit-men" I looked over at my wife, she was laughing at me the whole time. I am glad the comedian didn't pick up on that.

  Hugs, Erocse

We used to live in a block of Units, sorry for the Australianisms. Basiclay four ground floor, small apts connected to each other. Most would have a kitchen lounge and a single bedroom.

Any how we move in. The three other units were occupied by elderly retired people who hated the idea of having us youngsters among them. But we slowly brought two of the Units people around by doing messages etc and being helpful. The other person loathed us. Never knew why and doesn't matter.

We were a young couple with furniture from op shops etc. We had a dinner table with curved 'chrome' coated chairs. But they were badly designed and bent when you sat in them (after several years). We had a thing called hard rubbish collection. The local council arranged a time that each street could put out 'large' items for rubbish collection, such as bed mattresses, chrome chairs that bent etc and they would collect and salvage them. Of course this lead to people picking up other peoples goods swapping etc.

Anyhow we put out our terrible chrome chairs, that looked OK but bent when you sat in them. Then went to work as usual.

Jean, the old lady who hated us went to check out the stuff we and others have left.

Oh these chairs look OK that the strange people have put out she said ( we got the full story from the other neighbours, they were still laughing). So she sat in one. A seventy year old b***h (sorry) suddenly had the chair fold backwards and the arms cross over.  She was 'sitting head down. dress up. bloomers exposed and no way to get her out. In the end the fire brigade was called to cut her out.

We got home that night and the other neighbours had clubbed together to buy us a bottle of wine. They hadn't laughed so much in years, they said.

Just wish I had seen it. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


Cindy

Ok.

Back when Alison and I first got together we were both already longterm postop but she had had problems with her healing and was still going for occasional checkups at Charing Cross Hospital.

One day she was walking down the Fulham road just outside the hospital when her legs were spied by a truck driver who proceeded to drive at about 5mph with most of his body hanging out of the cab so he could get a better view.  By chance who was she to see emerging from the hospital but Mr Dalrymple, her surgeon, and naturally she stops to talk to him.

At this the truck driver slams on his brakes, gives her the loudest wolf whistle ever heard and sits stationary in the middle of the Fulham road admiring the view - now her legs truly have stopped London traffic!

At this point Mr D. evidently decided to play along and gave her a little peck on the cheek at which the truck driver yelled "Lucky bugger - save some for me will ya?" blew his horn and slowly drove off!.

Mr D. turned to Alison and said "You just can't imagine how much job satisfaction that gives me!"

Sweet man!  :laugh:

Cindy, I love stories like that. Hilarious and fortuitous !!!! :laugh:

  I have one like that as well. Not as funny but....

   My mother-in-law was over to visit . We love her,but she has a difficult time showing love back. Let just say she is very prickly at best. Anyway she was over . We put her up in the guestroom. There we have a Murphy bed. You know the kind that stand upright and you pull them down when in use. One afternoon she was taking a nap, and I guess the bolts holding the iron head board had worked themselves loose. We were lucky to have heard the calls for help. We ran to her aid and found her trapped like a mouse in a mousetrap. She would have never been able to get out on her own.

  I have since fixed the Murphy bed. And although we have thought about getting a new bed. I have grown very fond of that bed. I think it is because that bed and I seem to be like-minded. My mother-in-law still comes to visit now and then. Although she doesn't trust my handy work, I just love to make her sleep on the Murphy bed. You should see her she will approach the bed slowly, reach over and kinda give it a push. Then slowly sit on the edge of then bed. All the time looking back at me, I can't help but to smile which then turns into a laugh. She doesn't trust me, I think I like it that way. >:-)

  Hugs an Love, Erocse :)

 

I love this post. I think it should stay around forever. So I am going to add to it one more time. Last night we went to Wally World. I was with Mrs. Erocse and my daughter. I needed a few ingredients to make fudge. As we grabbed a cart and headed to the baking isle, Mrs Erocse asked me what I needed. I told her I need to get some nuts. Then she said, "I thought you didn't want those anymore." My wife and daughter started laughing. I looked back with a blank stare. I could not figure out what they were laughing at. I said, " I don't get it." She repeated herself.  Oh I get it. He he he.

~Hugs~
Erocse

Ya'll are great! Love this thread!

When I think of something funny, I'll be sure to share it!

I was at a forensic science seminar. One of those closed to the public; professionals who need to know only talks. So everyone was quite somber. Unfortunately I was accompanied by a colleague who knows my buttons.

An  eminent expert started the talk, he was thin and tall, stooped with thickish glasses, balding with hair strips combed across his skull. A person who took themselves very seriously. And who should. He also looked a complete 'mad scientist'.

I was in one of the corridor seats close to the front.

The expert started laying down his credentials. " I have done 27 rapes, 15 murders, including unidentified incendiary cases. He was about to continue, my 'friend' leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Looks good on it though, doesn't he?" I had tears streaming down my face, my fist was jammed in my mouth, I couldn't stop deep belly laughs. I was the focus of attention.  With enormous self-will I stopped myself. 

The expert was studiously ignoring me and presenting details of the difficulties of semen tracing, noticing I had myself under control my 'friend' again whispered, "Like to know what condoms he uses".

I laughed aloud and decided to make a fast walk to the exit, of course being at the front meant everyone could see me leave.

I was never invited to any more of the forensic science expert talks.

Cindy

BTW I'm not belittling the horrible crimes.

This may be an urban legend, but my grandmother's niece claimed it happened to her:

She was working the late shift at a convenience store when she saw this shifty looking fellow come in and start loitering in the canned goods aisle.  He waited for the last customer to leave the store before before approaching the register.

"Just this," he muttered, placing a can of peas on the counter while glancing about rapidly, apparently making sure nobody was watching.

Oh no.  I'm about to get robbed, the girl thought, as the guy reached for the inside pocket of his jacket.  Suddenly he whipped his jacket open wide, and flopped his ding-a-ling on the counter in front of the startled cashier.

Quick as a wink she snatched up the can of peas and slammed it down on his member, at which point he screamed and passed out.

Later, as the cops were taking the flasher away, she overheard one of them say to his partner, "Bet he wishes he bought a loaf of bread."

Disgusting

Know he know what it is to be peed on

Cindy

At risk of getting ticked-orf!

Me thinks we need some (amended) uber PC visual (comic) relief.... for those that are still grappling with the challenges fo being pre-op!

:P

Okay...I'll chip in with what will probably be my life's weirdest work story:

I used to work at hounted houses-the kind where you pay to walk thorugh a maze and get frightened by actors? well, I was one of the actors-for many years, at several different places.

One place was in its' final year, and so the owner didn't want to replace the old chainsaw.  He had the chainsaw man set it outside the back door running, because it was nearly impossible to crank, and if it was put inside the building, we'd all get fumed very badly.

Well...this was a bad neighborhood...so...one night a drug addict grabbed our chainsaw and took off running. The chainsaw guy called everyone else out and almost the entire crew... in facepaint  and costume...zombies, werewolves, slashers, monsters, a jason, a psycho or two, went running down the street after the thief. About thirty people or so.

Didn't catch him either...but it's a shame someone wasn't recording video of the whole thing.

That would have even been better if he had been high at the time.  'Holy crap I'm being chased by zombies!'

One of my friends is politically conservative and quite macho - a big guy, really into hunting and fishing and riding Harleys and other manly pursuits.  I was reluctant to tell him that I was transtioning - becoming a woman - but we ran into each other not long after I went full time. 

We talked a bit about what I was doing.  He ticked me off by referring to what I was doing as a lifestyle, but he accepted it.  And then he says, "It takes a lot of balls to do what you're doing!"  I knew what he meant, but I replied, "Well, actually that's the problem."

He did get away-he was on foot with a twenty-pound, still-running chainsaw...maybe he WAS on crack. He was motivated, that we know.

@ cruella...that bottom one...I think it needs more buttons,and indicators that have no scoring on them...so you've got buttons and indicators...but what they really do and what they indicate you have to figure out very carefully, not knowing which one is the "meltdown" or "explode angrily" button...

thinks about it and *ducks*

Cindy, I love stories like that. Hilarious and fortuitous !!!! :laugh:

  I have one like that as well. Not as funny but....

   My mother-in-law was over to visit . We love her,but she has a difficult time showing love back. Let just say she is very prickly at best. Anyway she was over . We put her up in the guestroom. There we have a Murphy bed. You know the kind that stand upright and you pull them down when in use. One afternoon she was taking a nap, and I guess the bolts holding the iron head board had worked themselves loose. We were lucky to have heard the calls for help. We ran to her aid and found her trapped like a mouse in a mousetrap. She would have never been able to get out on her own.

  I have since fixed the Murphy bed. And although we have thought about getting a new bed. I have grown very fond of that bed. I think it is because that bed and I seem to be like-minded. My mother-in-law still comes to visit now and then. Although she doesn't trust my handy work, I just love to make her sleep on the Murphy bed. You should see her she will approach the bed slowly, reach over and kinda give it a push. Then slowly sit on the edge of then bed. All the time looking back at me, I can't help but to smile which then turns into a laugh. She doesn't trust me, I think I like it that way. >:-)

  Hugs an Love, Erocse :)
That is so funny! I love it!  I hope no one sent this to her though!!!!

Stacey Beaumont I had the same concern.  :o

There is an elderly lady who locks up at my apt.s at night and I walk about and help her...

So we get all done with it and are talking a bit like we do and the UPS truck shows up... We both say that's odd for this time of night then let him in the entrance door we'd just locked

He walks in and asks if he'd found the proper address and another question... I give him directions to the apt. he was looking for

So then the lady asked "What did he say? What was he laughing about?" So I told her that he asked if we were management and that I'd told him "No, we're a couple of hoodlums"

I'd never seen her laugh so hard

That is funny. Virginia Marie. :).

So I decide to wax my underarms the other night right? This is usually a fairly simple and easy task...

This could have made the funniest home videos show  :laugh:

I'm topless of course as I take the wax out of the microwave... But when I go to stir the wax it explodes like a small volcano shooting hot bright green wax into the air and all over my hands, the counter top and the floor  :o

Undaunted, I go ahead and wax my pits and then undertake the chore of cleaning the now dried wax off of everything  :P
