Preparation H

My eye was killing me at work today, so I decided to go to drug store and buy some Preparation H - didn't have any in the house or at work.
I go into the drug store and walk aisle after aisle. I looked at everything, even read the tags over the aisles - of course none of them came right out and said "butt cream" so I finally had to break down and find someone. I explained what it was for, and showed my boo boo, and bought 2 tubes so I won't have to do that again!
Get it to work and it has this neat attachment, so not knowing any better, I go ahead (in front of a co-worker who has already realized that I have lost my marbles ) and attach this really cool attachment. It became obvious what the attachment was for after I attached it and the cream was coming out all over -
What an experience..................
TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it. Your eye was hurting so you bought Preparation H? I use it for multiple purposes (great for decreasing the life of a zit) but for eyes?

Preparation H is a hemmaroid medication that comes in suppositories, cream and ointment. Since it "shrinks swelling and numbs the pain" it works great on parrot bites and even on swollen parrot toes when they get in fights with their neighbors. If your parrot does give you a nasty bite, just rub some Prep H cream on the site. It reduces swelling and lessens the pain.
