A True Story About a Blonde...

[tesco]

Have you ever opened these biscuit cans the story is talking about? You have to tear away the outer wrapping and then strike them on the edge of the counter at which point they actually BURST open. I am embarassed to say that I have this fear of the sudden popping noise. It is so much a fear that the few times I use them, I will go and get my husband, wherever he is, and ask him to open them for me. I actually don't use these biscuits now because I saw how ridiculous it was when I actually had to interrupt him while he was mowing the lawn to come inside and do the rapping and popping thing for me!!!! It makes me uneasy to linger around their display case in the grocery store!!!!

me is afraid of those too. :crying:

Oy.

I guess I need some work on my funny-bone.

I guess I should admit the first person I'd tell a "blonde" joke to would be a blonde; that's half the fun.

My wife isn't blonde, but I often tell her she must harbor a certain empathy with them, given her actions on occasion.

Please don't anybody tell her I said that.

didn't this get tested on mythbusters in the first season? they put several different types of "canister doughs" in the bcak window of a car and simulated the sun beating down to heat up the interior.... as i recall some of the canisters did in fact "blow" but none did the "buicuit bullet"

myth busted

funny story though

Myth busters did a show on this? Dang it. I like their show. Thank you for this link, Vidcc.

It may have been good therapy for me to get over my phobia of the pressurized biscuit cans to see it. Then I could concentrate on the fear of blowing up a balloon or adding air to a tire.

I still haven't forgiven them for busting my favourite urban legend....the one with the scuba diver being dropped on a forest fire

They have a crap website as well and one has to look at "fan sites" to get info on past shows.
