Happy New Year - Again

Want to know what i did this Australia Day?

My non-Australian family had our traditional brunch with our non-Australian friends. There was the usual eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread AND toast, and croissants. We ate a lot and then we were stuffed and laying on the couch, too full to do anything else.

A few hours later when we had recovered sufficiently, all the kids decided to put on some tattoos of the Aussie flag. There were 8 tatts in total, so we could each have one on each shoulder or toe, or butt cheek, wherever we decided to put it.

My sister brought over wet paper towel and we started putting them on. I placed it carefully on my skin so it was the right way up, and not crooked. I carefully held it in place and put the wet towel on so it could soak in and do whatever it had to do. I carefully counted to 20 seconds and then took the paper towel off.

Carefully, I peeled the backing off so it wouldn't smudge - and realised I hadn't taken the plastic cover off!

Damn!

The tattoo had stuck to the plastic intsead of my skin, and completely wasted it. Only I would be stupid enough to do something like that.

So we laughed hard about it, and my friend offered her other one to me. I carefully peeled off the plastic and put the tattoo on It was a complete success, nothing to it. I was starting to feel pretty confident with my tattoo-putting-on skills so I started my other tattoo.

I counted for the 20 seconds, and then took the backing off...only to see - I had done it again!

I LEFT THE PLASTIC COVER ON AGAIN!

Not only I did it once, but I did it twice!

She barely recognised herself in the mirror. Her face was guant, her skin pallid. Exhausted was how she felt. In her peripheral vision, she caught the enticing gleam of her husbands razor, stark, harsh underneath fluorescent lights.

Trembling, she reached out her hand and grasped the handle tightly. Pulling the blade against her chest, breathing heavily, she stared back at her reflection. The woman glanced over her shoulder, checking all was clear. It lay poised, waiting, against her skin. Closing her eyes, she dragged the blade swiftly against her leg, feeling the cool metal cutting through. She opened her eyes to inspect the result and smiled. It was a clean shave.

The Teapot Theory.
There could be a teapot revolving around the sun.
A china teapot.
No one can prove its not there
Yet no one is silly enoguh to believe it is.
Although, there really could be a teapot.
Then again, no one can prove it is there.

There may be one person who doesn't believe there is a teapot.
That person is a teapot athiest.
