I like this verbotomy. In my case, it does not necessarily involve shampooing. I've dumped a hand-full of conditioner on my hand prior to shampooing. More than once. I admit to cosmicshowering. - purpleartichokes, 2007-02-09: 19:39:00

Hehe! It can also cause a woman to forget to shave her left leg...uh... not speaking from experience or anything... - purpleartichokes, 2007-02-09: 06:36:00

Then who's leg was it? - wordmeister, 2007-02-09: 09:36:00

OK... it was mine. But perhaps I just made a hairror and used the wrong side of the razor? - purpleartichokes, 2007-02-09: 11:01:00
