Twice now, I’ve grabbed my toothbrush in an early morning haze, and put something on it that wasn’t toothpaste or anything intended for oral health.

The first time, I put my grandfather’s green hair gel on the brush, and it even tasted minty fresh. For a bit. Then it just burned.

Another time, I put something else on there though I can’t remember what the heck it was. Probably medicated ointment or something. All I remember is that I realized that something was amiss, right away and that my tongue was numb.

Don’t do this.

Now that I’ve proved to you that I am a fragile human with nerdling ways, you should consider being a Patron and pre-ordering our Monster Commute book or pdf. Or both.

    Eew, eating hair gel = yikes!

      When I say “hair gel” I mean “old man hair gel”. I’m talking about the stuff that is shimmery and green, and from a bye gone age. This is what I ate.

    Payday is on Friday, and your willingness to admit to doing something I myself have done has sealed my decision to become a patron patriot. Huzzah!

      I’m confident in my lack of self-esteem.

      That said, we’ll warmly welcome you to the Patron Patriot ranks!

    Reminds me of the guy that went to the doctor, after a confusing morning.
    The doctor found a suppository in his ear and was afriad to ask where the hearing aid was!

      Indeedy! It was kinda like that, but not that bad.

    I’ve twice nearly put something besides toothpaste on my toothbrush: Icy Hot, and hemorrhoid ointment…

    But I didn’t! I noticed in time that the tubes were much too small.

    How about this? What’s the best thing you’ve ever put on your toothbrush? Mine was Sparkling Bright Lime and Mint. I would consider going back to Singapore just to get some more!

      Honey? Green Pea Soup? Chocolate syrup?

      • Zincotroid

        You’ve put all those things on your toothbrush?

        That doesn’t sound like better oral hygiene!
