another boring thread time havent done these for a while

[zzxxee]

time to discuss any facts or knowledge you have on the humble and wonderous
invention of the cotton bud !!!!
over to you !!!

[zzxxee]

if you loose your eyeshadow brush they make a good substitute !!

[spitthedog]

never put one in your ear as you are real trouble if it breaks off and can also perferate an eardrum.

if you cant get your elbow in your ear dont put anything else in it either.

[zzxxee]

sound advice indeed spit thanks for shareing xx

[spitthedog]

I can get 237 in to my mouth and still whistle...

[zzxxee]

if your child has an action man they make good pretend weights for action mans work out at the gym !!!

[zzxxee]

OK I copied this:
The cotton swab was invented in the 1920s by Leo Gerstenzang after he attached wads of cotton to toothpicks. His product, which he named "Baby Gays", went on to become the most widely sold brand name, "Q-tip", with the Q standing for "quality". The term "Q-tip" is often used as a genericized trademark for cotton swabs in the USA.

only to 'YMCA' though, eh snags?

[zzxxee]

baby gays what a daft name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boxtops]

Bit like the Germans calling a mobile phone a Handy...........

[zzxxee]

they would also make good pugel sticks for gladiators the size of tom thumb !!!

[zzxxee]

cotton buds are also useful for little paintbrushers for toddlers activity time being watched closely at all times of course !!!!

[spitthedog]

errmmm nope dont agree with that one zzxxee, it only takes a second for a toddler to stick one in it's mouth no matter how closely supervised they are. A split second is all thats needed whilst attention diverted, as toddlers have a tendency to put all types of stuff near their mouths especially if teething etc.

a painbrush is better here.

[zzxxee]

yes paintbrushes are better of course silly !!!!!! but you can supervise one on one closely !!!!!!!

[spitthedog]

agreed if closely.... closely supervised ;)

[zzxxee]

very good things to dig in your partners eye when they snore and keep you awake at night !!!!

[zzxxee]

very good for applying lip gloss as well

I'm still waiting for the cotton wool to reappear from my dog's ear. The vet cleaned them last week and the end bit got stuck. 'Oh, he'll shake it out,' says he. Tell that to a demented dog with a drunken stagger!

Excellent for dipping in clove oil and shoving in a toothache hole
