Cheap Thrills February 17, 2008

As I am now a uni student, I am always looking for a cheap thrill. It all comes down to a thrill per dollar ratio, the higher this ratio the better. Anyway, me and some of my new house mates decided that it might be a good idea to polish some of the furniture in our new place. We went to Woolworths and got some 2 aerosol cans full of furniture polish for $1.38 each. When we got home, we did a bit of polishing until someone noticed an interesting notice on the back of the can. It said something along the lines of ‘WARNING: DO NOT USE ON WOODEN FLOORS AS THEY MAY BECOME SLIPPERY’.
This is the point where things got interesting. I’m sure you can guess what happened next…
Yes that’s right, we emptied the entire contents of the two aerosols cans onto our wooden floors. Let’s just say that the floor was now as slippery as a baby pig lathered in oil. With socks on, we could do a run up (from the carpet) and slide across the boards for about 15 metres. We had competitions to see who could go the fastest, who could jump the furthest from the carpet onto the floorboards, and we even did a small limbo competition. I have to say that it was the best fun that I had in a pretty long time xD.
Anyway, it was all fun and games until Dan decided that he wanted to go a little bit too fast and ended up going arse-end first through the plasterboard wall. It was slightly funny at the time, but now we have to hide it from our landlord until we get the mess sorted out.
I have a terrible feeling that someone isn’t going to get their bond back (almost $1000)….
If it was done here in Brazil, Dan would crash against a bricked wall and the result would be even worse hehehe
Lol. That stuff is slippery. Though it’s not too fun when you’re not expecting it. :O
