I take no credit for the picture: it is from the fertile imagination of Neversleeps (it's not my booby chick)....

Neither! It is KY Jelly so it won't deteriorate the mask .

Peg,

You sure you're not from Oklahoma?

Same as Peg....except the fourth one hasn't been in my vocabulary for a LOOOONG time, but for some reason the word Tampax comes to mind.

Speaking of which, did I ever tell you the story about when I went into Home Depot and asked the sales guy where I could find a can of KY40?

He looked at me.... long and quizzically... (not so much because he didn't understand what I wanted, but more, I think, because he wanted to savor the moment and enjoy my silent suffering) until I realized what I'd said. So I nonchalantly (well, as nonchalantly as possible under the circumstances) said, with a quick dismissing wave of my hand, "I mean, WD40."

He led me to the correct aisle. By the time I got to the checkout lanes pretty much the entire staff was standing around looking at me and laughing.

Initially I thought, "Well, I'll never be able to shop at this Home Depot again," but managed to get over it pretty quickly. (Age will do that for you.... humiliation becomes virtually non-existent.)

I've been back there, and I swear there is an inordinate amount of snickering and pointing as I walk through the store....

From Ohio, grew up in farm country and now have become citified, but still have 4 acres to play on. And BTY, we call it pop. Funny the last time we were in Florida, I asked where the pop was in the store and the clerk said "Oh, you must be one of those northerners, where y'all from?"
