Happy hump day, kids! Today's Tip is a collection of real
tips I received via e-mail, but I'm posting them rather
tongue-in-cheek. Scroll on down, and you'll see why!



VODKA TIPS
  1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The stuff dissolves adhesive.
  2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set 5 minutes and wash clean. The alcohol kills mold and mildew.
  3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol cleans the glass and kills germs.
  4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
  5. Spray vodka on wine stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.
  6. Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
  7. Add a ****** of vodka to a 12-oz bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair and stimulates the growth of healthy hair. (This one's for Magnum Mike! )
  8. Pour 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 cup water into a zipper freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshing ice pack for aches, pain or black eyes.
  9. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.
  10. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
  11. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate the pain of a jellyfish sting.
  12. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.
  13. Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

To think I've been using Vodka inappropriately all this time!

With this tip, you shouldn't have to pay liquor tax on Vodka!

Can we replace VODKA with rubbing alcohol?? We would rather drink it instead

Sounds like a great Slurpee mix to me

Great tip
