Other uses for neutral
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 4:24 pm
Thought I'd throw a use I found for neutral other than making good sippin likker.
Some time ago I was having a girly whinge to a couple of mates about a bad case of jock itch.
See I live in the tropics and heat rash is all too common.
Damn painful and uncomfortable at the least.
End up walking like I'd been riding horses for a living.
One of the older blokes says to me "Slap some aftershave on it. It'll be gone by morning.. stings a bit but works"
So that night I was getting real sick and tired of the burn/itch..... slapped some neat aftershave on the rash.
HOLY SNAPPIN DUCK SH#T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID THAT BURRRRRRRRN OR WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was gunna kill him and his damn mongrel sense of humour when I saw him next.
My nuts had clawed their way up under my armpits in retreat and submission asking never to be treated that way again.
I cursed that bloke most of the evening and considered what evil I could do in retaliation......
Next morning....
No jock itch,,,,,, nuthin.
GONE
Was I impressed....
So slapped some more on the affected area.... still burnt but no where near as much as the first time.....
I did have a real nasty case of jock itch at the time. and in one night it was gone.
Was I a happy chappy or what.
So instead of tearing the old fella a new one, I thanked him often after that.
Have passed this on several times when seeing blokes doing the "cowboy walk"
With the warning that it stings like all buggery but in the morning you will thank me.
What has this to do with neutral?
Now instead of aftershave which is alcohol based anyway, I use 55% neutral
Just put it in a near empty aftershave bottle and keep it in the bathroom cupboard,
Smells a little of the original aftershave and does the job on any heat rash.
The only reason I bring this one up is at the moment it is 30+C degrees here with some wicked humidity.
Spent most of yesterday in the workshop making a condenser for a boka and got a real good case of heat rash on the creases on the arms and across my back.
NO problems this morning.... the neutral did it's trick.
