Take your best shot at Twisted DNA

Take your best shot

Published July 9th, 2006

Since morning, my wife has been all giggles. There is no end to the badinage. A “Let me know if you really like it, I will stock up more” here and a “does it feel smooth and silky” there.

In retrospect, I should have doused myself in after-shave so she couldn’t smell a thing. But who would’ve thought, what was claimed on the package, “fresh lavender scent” was not just a marketing gimmick? I overlook one small detail, and that’s it, I open myself up for potshots for a life time!

But what would anybody do? When you are halfway through the morning shaving routine you find out you are out of shaving cream. Would you continue sans shaving cream risking skin irritation? Or would you use the canister in the bathroom that says “shaving cream”, ignoring lavender scent, pink packaging and the picture of sleek lady’s legs?

would it make you feel better if I confess that I use a shaving cream targeted for black men, to cut down on ingrain hairs? And I’ve gotten several of my girlfriends to switch to it? TMI?

neha: I can almost bet he would rather not shave than stoop to unthinkable depths. In my case I was half way through
nithya: Archives are back, yay! Thanks for all your help.
gnightgirl: thanks for the consoling words
sudipta chatterjee: Thanks People rarely get my user name. They either think I am into genetics or I named myself after some rare decease.

It takes a man to wear pink. Remember that when they make fun of you at the office.

:) Haha - that is funny dude. I still dont understand this ‘half-way-through’ business?

Anand: Thanks for the sympathy.. I totally deserve it

~*. D E E P A .* ~: Thanks Deepa. Same to you.

Jamie: “It takes a man to wear pink” You only mean shirt, right?

Mary Poppins: “scent and silky smooth legs…errr face…” If you are going in the direction of a waxing joke, I already heard it

Prasad: Without going into the gory details of my shaving routine, let me just say, I practice a 2-pass mechanism.

The answer is always “Yes looks good did you do something new” .. Remember the hate a “NO” no matter what it is .. Just my suggesion ..

hey..
its better than having to resort to her hair removing cream because there is nothing else in bathroom early in the morning…

on a different note, i had an aunt who brushed her teeth with shaving cream once…. accidentally of course…

Passing Thoughts

[+] I am excited that the Phoenix probe successfully landed safely and peacefully on Mars. Or, as Ms. Hilary Clinton would put it, “It landed under heavy sniper fire.” [1 comment]

[+] Two girls scouts are protesting girl scout cookies because they say they are endangering some species. If you looked at the nutrition information of the cookies they sell, you would agree that one of the endangered species is mankind. [0 comments]

[+] According to this news item the definition of rape has been widened. If a woman refuses sex in the middle of the act, the rest of the act is considered rape. I guess she can re-accept sex making it consensual again. Don’t be surprised if you see criminal cases with the following description: “She went to his place at 8:00PM. They had coffee. They had sex from 8:30PM to 8:54PM. He raped her from 8:55PM to 9:01PM. Then she reluctantly agreed to sex. So, technically, he partially raped her from 9:02PM to 9:15PM. They both had dinner. Later they had sex after he briefly raped her.” [6 comments]

[+] Pentagon admitted that they accidentally shipped missile parts to Taiwan. Be assured that US is not in the business of selling arms. It might so happen that Taiwan may accidentally ship some money to US in the future. Who knows what accidents happen. [1 comment]

[+] Sarah Jessica Parker is whining that she won the “Unsexiest Woman Alive” award from Maxim readers. If you ask me, she should be quite glad that she didn’t win the “Unsexiest Horse” award. [2 comments]
