This made my day!!

[mokibear]

I have been having a really bad go of things of late not only with my health but in other issues of my life. I got this email tonight that made me chuckle for the first time in a few days. It may just be my warped sense of humor or that I was desperately trying to find anything to laugh at so I'll leave it with you to decide. I hope that it puts a smile on anyone else's face that is having a bad day.
Hair Removal...


(I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but....WHAT A  RIOT!)

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the  wax. Read on.........


My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner,

play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in

my mind for the next few hours:

'Maybe should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.'

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.

It was one of those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub

the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them

apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the

hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but

I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each

other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius

kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees.

('Cold wax,' yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold

the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!

Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all

wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I

sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting

championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right

side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and

stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it *was* a long

strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!! I'm

blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!! Vision

returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip.

****! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and

spotted.

I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious.

Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has

caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to

revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the

strip.

There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see

the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch.

I am touching wax.

I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is

now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG

mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know

I need to do something. So I put my foot down.

Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do

and think to mysel f 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My

head may pop off!' What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can

stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the

wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to

torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued

together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom

of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt

cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented

myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a

few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some

secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation

starter 'So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of

the tub!'

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for

removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to

know exactly where the wax is located, 'Are we talking cheeks or

hole or hoo-ha?'

She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the

rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.

YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.

While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scrape

the wax off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have

your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub

in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now

the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty

sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving

grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do

I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY

GOD!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my

friend. It's sooo painful, but I really don't care.

'IT WORKS!!

It works !!' I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she

hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then

notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL

OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.

I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color..

Hugs to all

Geez am I glad that I did not read this before I plucked up courage not long ago to have a wax in the nether regions!!!

This made me laugh so hard my 20 year old son wondered what the joke was and I just could not bring myself to share it with him.

Thanks for bumping it as I never saw the original and it is hilarious so thanks for the laughs.
