shhhhh 🤫
Just in case everyone doesn't already know, urine can provoke jellyfish stingers to release even more venom. Use vinegar or rubbing alcohol instead, or, falling that, seawater.
The damage Friendshas done with this myth is probably on par with Archer and it's made-up association between having a stroke and smelling toast.
Oh did Archer do the toast thing? I heard that way before Archer. Wasn’t it even a Canadian Heritage Moment or something?
They poked a part of the brain of a conscious patient and she reported smelling burnt toast, and they learned stuff about her strokes.
I actually thought most people knew the true story and were just joking when they’d say they’re worried about having a stroke when they smell burnt toast.
It was seizures, not strokes.
Oh man thank you, I can’t believe I was right about the Heritage Minute. Miss those!
My only source on this is the animated penguin movie Surfs Up starring Shia Labeauf but I believe it’s actually sea urchin stings that urine neutralizes the toxin
"War and Piss" amirite? Haha..
We would have also accepted "War and Pees"
Never pass on pp fun times…unless it’s not your thing then absolutely pass on pp times.
Isn't passing how pp times happen?
See I feel the opposite. Always pass on pp fun time. Unless it is your thing in which case don't pass on pp times.
I've told this story in another thread, but my wife's friend asked my to pee on her leg after getting stung by a jelly fish. We were at the beach with a group of 7 women + me. I panicked and said we should just wash it with soap and water, but I regret not taking the opportunity to pee on her leg when I had the go ahead from my wife. Our friend peed on her own leg instead.
Don't be like me, living with regret. If a woman asks for you to pee on her at a public beach, you gotta lean in.
Unless you're such a sourpuss that you piss vinegar, don't bother.
Stop trying to ruin the one time people are allowed to pee on each other in public without it being a fringe kink.
No I think I will.
Are you... Pissing on their parade?
Or perhaps, taking the piss, ahyuck.
Have you tasted vinegar lately? They have made amazing developments since you were born grama
Not even willing to give it a try 😔
There suddenly being a visible sun in the fourth panel means there is a significant delay in his response. He probably has alzheimers or something idk.
They probably had to do more than one take. The last panel was probably taken from a different roll.
It is actually the first take he managed to vocalize "No! ".
It just dawned me. The sun could be behind the witch all along. The last one is a closeup after all.
dawned
No, but I'll take an anti-baldness potion if you've got one.
The anti-baldness potion is also piss.
