WE HOPE THIS INVOLVED A LARGE GOVERNMENT GRANT

Research confirms mothers were right all along - removing a Band-Aid is less painful when it is ripped off quickly.

Face it. We Moms are always right. Our Moms completely sucked wind, but WE Moms are perfect.

That also works for hot waxing.

Dang right, BFF!

I've got a hot tip on whether an apple a day keeps the doctor away; for the cost of a "research facility" on a beach in Maui, it's all yours.

Noo! Not the hot wax!

I'll be good, I swear!

Oh, wait a minute.

Never mind.

Punkin--Is faster always better? *G*

*Puts rubbers back on*

What?

So Australia has surged ahead of the US in Band-Aid research??!!

"So there's a lot of cultural and psychological factors there as well"

Duh, it hurts. We don't like it when it hurts.

Besides, super-slow bandaid removal means the bandaid stays stuck in more places and resists, whereas the fast pull has more momentum.

MTB -- you wear two?

Nothing wrong with extra protection, Tash.

I'm stuck on Band-Aids cause Band-Aids stick on OUCH!

This is also true of duct tape across the mouth.... If you are holding hostages in your basement for instance.

my next government grant:
slapping people on the back who've crossed their eyes to see if they get stuck that way...

That only happens if a fly flies across their face, insom. That's the Cuban myth.

It gets pretty cold around here, Tash....

Ripping off Band-Aid is not illegally downloading a CD?

*snork* at bon!
