OT: Humor: Why do I have so many leaks?

Post by archangle » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:47 pm

I'm having a lot of problems with leaks. Is my mask the wrong size? Can you tell from this picture?

Image

Should I tighten the straps tighter? They're already so tight it hurts.

Man, that mask position would be tough on the eyes!

I heard reference to a photo in an actual online ad showing an upside down mask...is this the one?

Or is that blond dude actually you archangle?

I've never used anything but pillows so it looks OK to me! (Seriously, is it upside down?)

Leaks?
No I don't have to get up 5 times a night to pee anymore!

Have you checked your data? Maybe with the mask like that your mouth might be open

Yes, that was from someone's online ad. I'm not the model. I think someone else posted it here on the board some time back.

As someone else posted...apparently the photo is an androgenous chick. I wasn't besmirching your masculinity...just not an astute observer.

I figured that plastic pad on my chin is supposed to help keep my mouth closed. Should it go on the chin, or should it cover my mouth? Is there some way to adjust it to keep my mouth closed better, or slide it up over my lips?

If it's supposed to cover my lips, I think I must have the wrong size mask.

That is hilarious!

For those of you not familiar with this type of mask, this is how it SHOULD be worn:

(not sure if that's the exact mask, but pretty close if not)

I seem to remember the ad was for the bed pillow! Funny!
