THE MYTH
"Placing a condom on your eyes will reduce puffiness and redness."

THE REALITY

I was not sure about testing this one, as I was afraid I might become cock-eyed.

I probably shouldn't have tried this on the bus downtown either, but since I had time kill and condoms that I have no other apparent use for, I gave it a shot.

I heard some woman comment something about a "Silly, dumb ass.." but with condoms taped to my head I couldn't see the poor slob she was talking about.

In the end there was no notable reduction in the bags under my eyes, but on a crowded bus I did have a seat to myself.

If you try this, for the love of (insert P.C. non-offensive deity), use fresh ones straight from the package.

MXI said...

This blog would probably be better if I was speechless too!

anyjazz said...

I knew that. About the condoms, I mean. No one will sit with you on a plane either.

Serena Joy said...

ROTFLMAO! I'm all for trying new beauty treatments but I believe I'll give this one a pass.:)

hotdogman said...

Better to be cock eyed than a dick head!

MXI said...

Anyjazz - How do you know no one will sit with me on an airplane?

CY- It ain't pretty

Hotdogman - Don't be so hard on yourself!

A word to the wise - condoms contain SPERMICIDE and should never be allowed to come in contact with living tissue - they cause cell death and mutation
Use a hollowed lemon instead
Yes - for both purposes - but the lemon is used by the woman instead

MXI said...

new illuminati- I'm trying real hard to picture what you're doing with the lemon here...

What's a condom?

MXI said...

mist- Come over sometime and I'll show you.

If you don't know what a condom is then cock-eyed joke was kind of lost on you...eh?
(Oops Canadianism popped out there)

teeheehee

you crack me up!

A condom is only known to reduce swelling below the navel (if you're lucky), not the eyes.
It says somewhere on the box. I think there's even an illustrated demonstration in there.
I once set next to a guy on a bus who wore nothing but duc tape, btw.

MXI said...

Dixie- If that's a problem, I'm sorry.

Trish- That was probably me!

Trish said...

Not using a condom can cause redness and swelling. In your eyes, too.

Fida said...

Oh my... i wouldn't say its something I would wanna try... in public

MXI said...

Trish- Not if you are male and move away and change your name. (I've heard.)

Fida- Yeah, sadly your your info came too late.

Hi,
I usually don't appreciate this blog when I come across it on Battle of the Blogs.

But this post was great. Thanks. Here's my vote.

Cheers,

Paros- I would say you're in the majority, most people don't like it. I appreciate your honesty.

Hey here's one myth for you:

Dip a used underwear of a virgin (female) and wash your face with the 'dirty' water for awesome skin. My male cousin had tried it and it works, he need no virgins, he used his mom's undies!

MXI said...

Fida- About the time you're pretty sure you've heard everything....

I just don't know many virgins, what about Texans?

Speaking of hearing everything, why don't you post some of your guitar playing on you your blog?

Angelika said...

Just letting you know that I've linked to your blog on my blog.

I love reading your posts. They crack me up. :-)

MXI said...

Angelika- I've been a closet fan of your blog for awhile...thanks!

Webmiztris said...

hope you used the kind WITHOUT the spermacide on them... that could hurt!!! I never heard about this myth. I think I'll stick to cucumber slices thankyouverymuch...lol

MXI said...

Webmiztris- I made up the myth, just to use the cock-eyed joke......it was long way to go for one joke, but I've gone farther for less.

hotdogman said...

There are 5 "defensive driving" ads in your google side bar. Are you driving while wearing these condoms on your eyes?

MXI said...

Hotdogman- No, 'cause I might spill my beer.

Shelli said...

Choking...on...my...soda! ROFLMAO.

Stephanie said...

Question:
Does it matter what kind of condom you use? Perhaps the "twisted" kind would have worked better. I tried one of the flavored ones the other night with M. Tasted like rubber and orange peel.

MXI said...

Stephanie- Twisted? Flavored? Gee I gotta get out more.
