Sparkles

'Tis the season of all things shimmery and shiny...this year the trend really does seem to be "all things" getting the glitter treatment from female hairy arm pits [each to their own but not one I shall be following sisters] to beards proof here https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/258765483/unscented-glitter-beard-kit-ubs-beard?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_c-accessories-costume_accessories-facial_hair&utm_custom1=409f04a1-7e86-4d67-b3f3-96ea0525fd43&gclid=CLaigq7kxskCFSsEwwodpooDiw

The seasonal madness has put me in mind of a story that I heard a few years ago..I suspect it's apocryphal but it amuses me nevertheless.....

A young lady had rather over indulged at a party and awoke hung over at her friend's house. Remembering with horror that she was due to have a smear test at the surgery later she realised she didn't have time to go home and freshen up. Running late and in a vain attempt to make herself half decent, she rushed into the bathroom and sprayed all the necessary areas with a borrowed deoderant. Arriving at the surgery just in the nick of time she was ushered in by the nurse, who having carried out the necessary procedure, smiled at her and said "you probably don't need to go to so much trouble next time!" She had picked up a can of spray glitter by mistake.......
