Dear Janet,

Ummm...just what does one DO with these 'Carrots'?

Does one bind them to ones affected 'parts'?
Like 'splints'?
....I guess this MIGHT help...tho'...could make getting dressed a
mite...tedious...those little pearl buttons, the 'four-in-hand', the shoe
laces of me 'hi-cuts' and all...guess I could get up a little
'earlier'...take the time...

Well...OK! I'll 'try' it!
It is cold enough here for them to stay fairly 'crisp' I suppose...(the
'Carrots' I mean...not me 'fingers'!)

Do I leave the 'tops' on?...the 'greens' as it were? Or should I remove
them?

Good thing I am self employed, I think, for this...'co-workers', 'bosses'
might otherwise...uh...'demure' some little bit in me presence...or more so
than usual...hmmmm...


Yours,

Philip

Did no one convert to raw carrots last winter?
External (not internal) application.
Shame on you all!!

Come on now! Sing with feeling: "CARROTS WORK
WONDERS, work wonders, work wonders. Carrots
work wonders, SO GET SOME TODAY!"

A whole lot less fuss and far cheaper than all
these gimmicky; REGIONAL remedies!

And they beat urine any day... You may all be
too old (or not old enough) to remember, but I
can distinctly recall how nice, warm wet turned
horribly cold in the shortest time...

Cindy S. cites water. I swear by carrots...
Either way, it beats all the fuss and palaver!
Like Mel's white, waggy baggies... Cotton gloves
are a turn-off!! Surgical gloves... Yes, well...
You could also try tying individual condoms tied
onto the split and cracked parts. Better not go
into that... The Mayor might blush, especially
if he is out hunting this week...
