Thread: OOPS - am I the only one dumb enough to have made this mistake when preparing lather?

Well, I remember when we was youngins and cousin Festus poured a bottle of Bosco into Uncle jethro's expensive french shaving soap which was black to begin with. As I recall they spent quite some time in the woodshed after that not to mention the local Mountain Lion who kept trailing Jethro for days after that.

You keep your Preparation H in a different drawer than your Crest right ? Just trying to help prevent future mishaps :<0)

If the basic principle still works; you should have no more problems with your tonsils. 😉

Its funny to see this cause I keep my SRD razor oil next to my glycerin also. I've not made the mistake but can see how easy it would be. Just think your face wouldn't rust. Always an upside.

Now this is really a true story, not shaving related but funny.

Many years ago when I was a young lad in the Navy I was doing my tour as a Mess Cook aboard ship. I used to work with the baker on the night shift and prepared most of the grub for the morning and afternoon meals. A very popular item was Kool aid which was dispensed from 5 gallon dispensers. We called it bug juice. One early morning I prepared the stuff as usual and later during dinner a dude comes up to me and the Chief and says this stuff tastes terrible what's in it. I said just the mix and a bunch of sugar. Both the chief and I taste it and spit the stuff out. We go into the Mess and take the sugar canister down and sure enough it's filled with salt.

The cook for some reason replaced the sugar with the salt. The funny thing is probably 30 guys drank the stuff and never complained. Some were drinking multiple glasses. The Chief and I were watching and laughing our butts off.

You know,sugar and salt LOOK exactly the same-har har.

almost peed my pants reading this one

Like Nelson, not razor related but new in laws and my new wife, were all going to have breakfast , well I just happen to make the best sausage gravy around,( it's a food group all on its own). At my new family's house I told them to sit back and well feast on some biscuits and gravy,, well I was not getting it to thicken as it should it added a little thickener not suspecting what was happining and served it up ,,, what I thought was flour while making ( in sa strange kitchen) my Rue. It turned out to be confectioners sugar,, they ate a few bites before they told me they didn't like their gravy that sweet!! Ya I hear about this every time we get together and I offer to cook. Tc
