The Things I Do

So I have to say, having whipped cream thrown in your face is not exactly the best way to spend an afternoon. There are a lot of things I could think of that would be more fun -- like fishing, bowling, maybe going to the dentist...

ok maybe not the dentist.

When whipped cream gets in your hair and dries, it hardens like a really stiff gel. Actually, I think it probably holds a little bit better than the gel I use. It would make a very nice substitute if not for the smell. You see, getting covered in it means you have dairy product smeared all over you, soaked into your clothes and other places, and then standing out in the sun pretty much guarantees the smell of sour milk will follow you wherever you go.

I did learn that if you were in an industrial setting and perhaps forgot your ear plugs, whipped cream would do quite nicely. If you need a little ear protection for your hearing and don't have any foam plugs around, grab a can of reddi whip, stick it in your ear, and let 'er go. You will be in your own, quiet little world of white frosting in no time. My first customers managed to block out my hearing quite nicely with just such a maneuver - And by the way Adam, I'm pretty sure it did hurt me more than it hurt you. Thanks anyway:)

The application of whipped cream to your eyeballs leaves a milky white texture, which translates into a visual haze. It's kind of a fog effect, giving a little glow to everything you see. I'm told that wearing contact lenses amplifies this effect, but I can only pass that on as hearsay. Everything else I am describing is scientifically proven by direct experience.

When one gets whipped cream in one's nose, one might notice that the entire world will smell like it for the rest of the day. Taking a shower might wash the smell off of you, so the people around you won't notice anything, but have no fear. The smell is still yours to cherish from the amount that got squished up your nose.

Finally, taking a whipped cream pie in the face proves how much one is committed to a cause. To raise money (I believe we sold 44 pies at $5 each to be smooshed into one our our faces) we thought this might be a good idea. Of course, getting the equipment to get a recording done is a real dream of mine. Those other poor suckers were just in the wrong leadership at the wrong time!:)
