I had a toothache (technically a gum-ache) and I could not find our OraJel or Anbesol. No tooth pain goo anywhere.
But I did find this:
We use Neosporin anti-bacterial gel all the time, especially because it has a little pain-relief additive in there.
So it was quite sensible to apply it to my upper and lower gum. It was effective and I was so pleased with myself I told Gary the next day.
“POISON’ he screamed.
“Oh don’t be so dramatic. It’s not POISON.”
He waved the tube in my face.
Oh, damn. It IS poison.
I explained I couldn’t find the other tooth goos, and Gary opened the drawer I had upended already, and plucked out both tooth goos.
So I won’t be doing that again.
