Decided to get ready to go see The Hobbit, do some shopping, hit CostCo. First step was to take a one-degree-below-first-degree-burns shower.
Wash hair....Check!
Wash face...Check!
Grab the Crab Nebula Showergelloofascrubbything and apply an ample amount of shower gel. Tap the lid to close it up.
At this point, things go badly. It seems there was a small glob of shower gel sitting in the lid. As I snapped it closed, the glob was launched into the air. The glob was launched at such a high rate of speed, the friction of the air passing over the surface of the glob superheated it to a molten state.
Milliseconds later the glob has entered my eyehole. At first it was a tingle. I figured I could endure the pain. Rinse it out a tad. Proceed with the shower. A couple of seconds later, I discovered why they referred to the gel as invigorating as it was invigorating the shit out of my eyeball nerves.
In an act of desperation I spin around and attempt to rinse my eyeball with the shower water...the one-degree-below-first-degree-burns shower water. Quickly deciding that this was a bad idea after partially scalding my eye socket, I resort to flinging water from my hands into my face. This goes on for a bit until most of the pain is gone and I am able to get to the next step of shaving my face.
I have to ask why every time something that is "invigorating" or "minty" is launched from a bottle, tube, etc...almost always seems to end up in your eyeball. Putting toothpaste on the brush has two consequences. If you are wearing a shirt that is black, a tiny glob will shoot off the brush and land on your shirt. Any other color shirt and the tiny glob will rocket towards your eyeball.
