This is something else from way back...well, not so way back. I wrote this in 2009, after I managed to simultaneously lock myself in my bathroom and burn rice.
Enjoy.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I learnt something new today...as a matter of fact, two things even, and both of them, in the span of about 15 minutes.
The 1st is this.
rice conducts electricity...(yes, yes, laugh and kill me if you must)
I cooked some rice last night, and this morning, i warmed up what was left on my electric stove.After facing another ordeal...in which i learnt the other thing i learnt...i ran into d kitchen and picked up a spoon to stir my rice, since it was starting to have the smell that signifies the onset of high carbon content in a meal.
as i put my spoon in a the pot, on the rice, i got a shock...literally. i threw off the spoon and turned of the stove...
so, like i said b4, i learnt that rice conducts electricity.
now, the other thing i learnt, which really is the reason i tot to write this note, is that, truly, necessity is the mother of invention.
i went into the bathroom to pee and run my bath water after setting the rice to warm. i shut the bathroom door, totally oblivious of the fact that the door was undergoing a...'lockial' breakdown...internal crisis...whatever!
Anyway, i got done and wanted to leave the bathroom, but the door would not open.
Now, I've been watching 'Leverage' and 'Burn Notice' (of the two, leverage does it more for me...i love the comedy and silliness and most of all, the thinking, cunning and stealing), and Parker, i guess has made some sort of impression on me.
anyway...i was stuck in the bathroom. all i had were bottles of soap, shampoo, tissue, toothpaste and luckily, a tube of canex cream and several perfume bottles.
now, if you are female, then you know canex cream has got a rather hard end, harder than regular tooth paste. so, with Parker in my brain, i took one perfume and the canex cream, and flattened the butt end by hitting the perfume on it.
once that was done, i pushed at the bathroom door, turned the handle, slid in the butt of the canex cream tube, just beneath the door's lock. in a slicing motion, i started to slide slowly, upward, with the aim of pushing the the lock, away from the frame opening and back into the door opening.
Guess what?
As I put pressure on the canex cream tube, holding it in a downward slant position, to enable me reach and put pressure on the base of the lock, the door opened....it actually did!
and just as I was about to grin to myself, I heard Michael say 'eyyah, sorry, you got stuck'...
So, the scenario thus went:
he heard me 'struggling' with the door and he opened it.
Please note that the door's crisis is 'internal'...i.e, 'externally', the door is normal.
Anyway...i still learned that necessity is the mother of invention...or is it that movies and TV shows definitely leave an imprint in your subconscious???....or maybe it was, never lock the bathroom door???....cant say, but the point is, I learned something today.
Does the part about the canex cream butt being hard and going in and out create any sort of thoughts in your head??
:D
