From time to time, J comes home from work with a box of “product.”
It’s a perk of the job. These freebies have included cases of paper towels,
toilet paper, dinner napkins, full-sized boxed tissues, travel-sized tissues, disposable hand
towels, and pre-moistened “cleansing wipes” when you have a sticky poo.
It’s a little like Christmas any time he comes home with a
giant bag o’goodies. What will it be today? What’s in the box? Will it be
anti-viral tissues in Hanukah-themed boxes? Paper towels that smell like cinnamon and pork? Now, I don’t mean to humble-brag, but last night J brought home 24
bottles of feminine wash.
#feelingblessed! #Parabenfree!
He introduced the day’s haul by eloquently saying, “I don’t
know what you’re going to do with it, but it’s wash for your coochie. I guess you
squirt it in your hand and just kind of wipe it on?”
#soromantic! #justkindof!
Ladies, has your husband ever come home from work with 24
bottles of feminine wash? I know I let personal hygiene slide from time to time
when I work from home, but this is more than a hint. This is like signing your scurvy-riddled cousin up for the citrus fruit of the month club. This is like
mailing your ex-boyfriend a case of extra-small condoms and a tube of Abreva.
Or like offering a coworker with severe halitosis a stick of gum, bottle of Scope,
package of floss, sample-sized toothpaste, gift certificate for a SonicCare
toothbrush, and full-color, framed caricature of him or her walking through a
car wash with his or her mouth wide open.
I started to make a list of things a person might do with 24
bottles of cooch cleanser, but this is all I could come up with:
1) Offend every woman on my Christmas gift list.
2) Start a hilarious new chain letter.
I
guess I’ll have to research the ingredients. Can I wash dishes with this stuff?
Do laundry? Give my dog a bath with it? (She’s already endured many indignities
as a pet in the Riley household, what’s one more?)
While
I’m figuring out what to do with 24 bottles of cooch cleanser, I have a grant proposal to finish. Also,
All the Lonely People will be re-launched NEXT WEEK with a new cover, special
sale, and a giveaway.
And if you would like to give an autographed paperback copy of any of my three novels to a reader on your holiday gift list, please email me. Ten bucks for each signed book, including postage (Sorry, U.S. addresses only.) I'll get the signed copies to you ASAP!
Oh, Jess, how do I love thee? Let me count the springtime fresh ways!! Maybe you could do a free-gift-with-purchase: Buy All the Lonely People and receive a free gift, and never be lonely again! (I dare you!!)
ReplyDeleteMy husband earns cases of product for good attendance, safety record, etc. but we've never been give a case of coochie wash, thankfully! Your chain letter idea reminds me of one commercial where the women are passing a box of pads (I think) from person to person. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteI just spit out my drink! Not only a hilarious situation, but your witty words make it even funnier. Thanks for sharing!
