You get a bit sweaty on night shifts.... and in a fit of tiredness I'd forgotten my clinique ." HAPPY" !!!!...and so perspiring like Blanche duBois I looked around the office and staff loo to see if I could find an suitable nice smelling squirty.
In the office I located a somewhat exotic sounding lady spray called "orchid myst" and gave myself and my uniform a good seeing to.
It didnt smell too perfumed I thought moments later only to realise that orchid myst was exactly that..an effing
mist for effing orchids!!!!
Pure nutrient solution, pest repellent, plant tonic and leaf conditioner ......for orchids !!!!!

ReplyDeleteOops! That might be helpful in some ways during spring and summer, but perhaps not so much in November in the Northern Hemisphere. Perhaps you should get a pocket size smell-pretty to tuck into your pocket or your lunch bag?
ReplyDeleteHow did the fur-babies react to that?
They never noticed but the girl I worked with game me a funny look
Deleteyou'll be all fed, pest free and conditioned then!
ReplyDeletei have been known to use a sneaky handful of hand sanitiser
I've been told that's called a French bath...
DeleteI'd go arse over tit ....it makes the bath slippery
DeleteWell at least you will be aphid free!
ReplyDeleteNo crabs on me
DeleteBloomng lovely.
ReplyDeleteLike me
DeleteOoooh, petal!
ReplyDeleteCould have been worse, like air freshener or furniture polish.
ReplyDeleteI've sprayed myself with hair spray before ( under arms)
DeletePest repellent? What more could you want? (Try spraying it over the comments section of your blog!)
ReplyDeleteWould I?
DeleteIt's a mere idea, JayGee. :-)
DeleteAnd are your leaves well conditioned now? X
ReplyDeleteNo but I'm feeling taller
DeleteWell, it could have been much, much worse
ReplyDeleteOoooh, you little hot house orchid.
ReplyDeleteAs a child, I once mistook tubed suntan lotion for toothpaste. It did not taste nice.
Oh, Andi, you've reminded me of putting Pepto Bismol (a disgusting flavor) on an itchy mosquito bite when I intended to use Calamine lotion. I couldn't yet read at the time so when my mother told me what I'd done by mistake - both were pink - I washed the awful Pepto Bismol off my leg in a hurry!
DeleteAs I child I once brushed my teeth with fixident
DeleteWell I always think of you as a rather exotic flower John, so it might have done you good. Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI've never been called an exotic flower before
DeleteMMmmm fruity!
ReplyDeleteYour garden will grow well now.
ReplyDeleteIt may thicken my hairline
DeleteAnother priceless John Gray moment. May you lushly grow and blossom!
ReplyDeleteMy bush has improved
DeleteAhh,delicate little flower that you are.
ReplyDeleteLike a pansy
DeleteI’ve sprayed my hair with deoderant in the days when I used hairspray but this is priceless!!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! At least it wasn't turnip fog or cabbage breeze!
ReplyDeleteShall I clip your bud now or later dear?
ReplyDeleteYou can prune my bush
DeleteJohn did WHAT . . .
ReplyDeleteCock up again
DeleteOnly you, made me laugh, thank you
ReplyDeleteBut did it help with the sweat!?
ReplyDeleteIt cooled me down
DeleteWell lol on the bright side you have no worry of pests, your foliage will be brighter and everything else will be conditioned lol
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Love this! Xx
ReplyDeleteI am repelled
ReplyDeleteYou won't be the first
DeleteA 'Carry on Nurse' moment!
ReplyDeleteI don't that orchids have a scent do they? That could have been a clue!
ReplyDeletethat's our john!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! That cute little face of yours makes it even funnier! I once mistook Icy Hot for my KY gel. It wasn't pleasant or funny at the time.
ReplyDeleteDirty gal
DeleteBut did you smell good?
ReplyDeleteAnd did your, um, orchid like it?
I was blooming lovely
DeleteDid you feel glossy?
ReplyDeleteLike a new pin
DeleteYou will be free of spider mites for a week, thanks for the laugh, rest-rest-rest
ReplyDeleteThe genus name for orchids - orkhis, is Ancient Greek for testicles. The spray could have been worse John...
ReplyDeleteI keep both hair spray and deodorant in my draw and of course once sprayed hair spray under my arms. My armpit hair is now suitable for plaiting.
ReplyDeleteI washed my hair with dog shampoo recently
DeleteThis is priceless! Oh, you misty orchid, you! And of course, we all know that the orchid is represented in the male body by his most precious parts so not entirely inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteMine are redundant
DeleteToo funny!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember nitro paste, before nitro patches? You had to measure it out onto a piece of paper and then attach it to the patient. I had a student nurse who asked me if she should put it on the patient's toothbrush.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was still working, some doctors continued to use Nitro Paste as they considered it a more accurate dose. Those were the days, my friend!
DeleteI have a funny GTN patch story
DeleteYou know this means you will be blooming soon.... :-)
ReplyDeleteOr dead in a pot on the window legde
DeleteI wonder what color your bloom will be ?
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and badger
Red like my cheeks
DeleteNever a dull moment is there?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't very exciting but I have been working nights
DeleteYour appearance will, no doubt, be improved and you might grow a little, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd beautiful again
DeleteHa! No aphids on you!
ReplyDeleteLOL, John! A funny story to begin with but your telling is what really makes it :)
ReplyDeleteWith the nutrients and the tonic, you must be feeling on top of the world now....
ReplyDeleteI'm off to bed, I think I've poisoned myself lol
DeleteOh, lovely. Hot house men like you must need regular feeding. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut John, you are a living flower! :^D
ReplyDeleteThat story made my Sunday morning, thank you. x
ReplyDeleteFresh as a rose!.....well.... an orchid.
ReplyDeleteI needed this laugh!!! OMG, John, that's totally something I would do and forget fresh as a daisy, you went straight to the exotic orchid!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, no flies on you then.
ReplyDeleteperhaps you don't sweat as you glow
ReplyDeleteFun story as are some of the comments another one for the book John.
ReplyDeleteYou little flower you 😃
ReplyDeleteHey, at least it is unique!!
ReplyDeleteHoo hah! Wonder if the spray has stimulated any unexpected new growths?
ReplyDeleteJust last week I brushed my teeth with Neosporin, or rather our local supermarket chain's generic equivalent of it in an unfamiliar colored tube. I think I would have recognized Neosporin in its regular form.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! This made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!!!
