Safety Topic, Environmental Hazard - The Booby Trap
This week at work, Ray had to move the bluebells from 288s to 128s. The trouble was, the bluebells didn’t want to go. They were actually too little to leave home so early in life. For Ray that meant lots of tedium, poking the bluebells out from the underside of the flats with a stick. And we’re not talking just a few bluebells. We are now discussing industrial quantities of bluebells. So that’s how Ray wound up with a terrible pain in his shoulder area between his scapula and spine.
Then Ray returns to the Cow Barn in great pain and Ray says, One of you need to rub this here Tiger Balm on my back because I can not reach that particular area of my back that is afflicted. But of course, Ray’s girl friends didn’t want to. Ray had to beg and cajole to get the analgesic rubbed on his back. Afterwards, the responsible party put the tube of Tiger Balm analgesic on the Boy’s Room counter top next to the toothpaste where Ray could easily find it again when he needed it.
Alas, when an average person like Ray first gets up at 5:30, then heads for the Boy’s Room for a tooth brushing ablution, he may not be at his most alert. That’s how Ray brushed with the Tiger Balm which was right next to the toothpaste as depicted here. According to Ray, at first you don’t notice much difference because the analgesic cream and the toothpaste are both white and minty fresh. And it’s not really the taste. It’s the consistency that may alert a person, eventually.
Another difference is that the dern Tiger Balm is water insoluble. Ray had to wipe it out of his mouth with a paper towel, toilet paper and Kleenex. Even so, it was hours before Ray felt like all the Tiger Balm was out of his oral cavity. Mercy!
Fortunately, the Tiger Balm analgesic product is apparently not an instant killer when ingested in small quantities. What the effect is, long term, probably only lab mice or bunnies know. Mercy!
Anyway ladies. Booby traps are lots of fun. But also consider how you would feel if you brushed your teeth with Tiger Balm. Think about that before you set up that next booby trap.
