I enjoyed a visit to the local flea market this morning. I sneaked out silently, hit the M5 in glorious sunshine for a change and the stalls..the stalls were ca-aaling...Didn't get much though. A record or two and a nice chat with my friend Joe. And then I saw the Hoover vac box. I looked inside and saw an almost brandnew Hoover vac inside - the bagless water filter kind - and asked 'How much?' 'Only R450, no VAT'.
Well, it so happens that I know all about the taboos of buying electrical appliances for the moll instead of Chanel no 5 or Paris perfume but thought to myself I could do with a vac for my workshop. After asking some intelligent (hehe ;D) questions about the vac not having seen service in a morgue or in a hospital for aansteeklike siektes, money changed hands.
For self-preservation reasons, I also bought a dinky little one-flower silver vase and headed home.
When I got back, my dog started sniffing around my legs and the moll asked me if I had anything to drink. 'Of course not, I'll have a Windhoek now', as it was quite hot by then.
Then, she asked me if I had been to some kind of hospital and I sez 'No!, of course not, luvvie'...
So after surviving the handing over of the new Hoover, I go to my bathroom and get a whiff of Dettol or Jeyes Fluid or something similar.
I then remembered that I took out two cakes of soap this morning and one was still in its wrapper.
This is what I read on the wrapper: Sodium tallowate, Sodium palmate, Sodium palm kemelate, Glycerin, Camellia sinensis, Eucaluptus globulus, Pogostumon patchouli, Hexyl cinnemal, Citronellalol, Butylphenyl methylpropanol, Alpha-Isomethyl ionone, Gerianol, Disodium EDTA, etc, etc.
Makes you stink, I mean think, doesn't it? I wonder how many blind, hairless bunnies survived this shower soap?
