BE CAREFUL WITH EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS-- THE DRUNKEN SEVERED HEAD KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!
Do not buy the item below and leave it near a bathroom sink. It can be mistaken for a tube of toothpaste, with unfortunate results.
Do not eat the wafer below, which comes in an individual cellophane wrapper. It is not a shortbread cookie or freebie from the Girl Scouts. It is a dog treat sample your wife brought home* and left out.
These small, sticky, soft brains are not gummi-style candies. They are small, flavorless, plastic TOYS meant to be thrown at walls. They are definitely not meant to be chewed on and then spat out instinctively, hitting a wall.
The product below is a gyp. It contains no breakfast snack made from mutant feet.
I feel better now that I know TDSH readers are more prepared for some of life's small dangers.
* I'm, uh, speaking hypothetically here-- not that I could do anything like eat pet food. Noooo.
Reminds me of the time my father in law came to visit. We were out of the house when he arrived, so he let himself in and helped himself to a beer. He then found a bag of pork rinds in the cupboard. When we returned, he mentioned that the beer was good but the pork rinds were really tough.
ReplyDeleteWhen I finally stopped laughing, I had to explain the "pork rinds" were fried rawhide treats for our dog.
Thanks, Max. You've saved me considerable pain and disappointment. :)
ReplyDeleteIn speaking of dog treats, my spouse came in the other day with a bag of Oreo-looking cookies. "Try one", so I did. Kind of bland, not all that great. Come to find out they were dog cookies someone had sent to our puppy.
ReplyDeleteI was not amused.
"Hints from Heloise" has got nothing on Max's Domestic Do's & Dont's :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stars, man, you've saved us all once again from horrific harm and self-inflicted mayhem. What would we do without TDSH to watch out for us???
ReplyDeletePs - once in my household a small bottle of mint-scented rubbing alcohol was nearly mistaken for mouthwash...so I wear my glasses to do just about everything, the older I get.
I'll consider myself warned!
ReplyDeleteThe dog treat had me laughing because, well, it's a long story, but I learned once not to trust my half asleep eyes when midnight snacking.
ReplyDeleteHey! I love your blog so much I gave it an award!

Max, I seem to recall you relating to me the incident with the dog treat. I'm told Jane has photos of the other three precious moments.
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law came close to sampling some polished rocks my kids had set out on a table thinking they were candy. We caught him in time. Of course, he has Alzheimer's.
NOW YOU TELL ME!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, thanks for the tips. Also, don't forget to keep Ben Gey lotion away from your privates. It can be quite painful. (Or... so I'm told.)
