That's just . Please tell me Lysol used to have a different formula at least!

Seriously, I can't imagine the number of infections and irritations that have been caused by ads that have somehow convinced women that a self-cleaning part of their body needs special cleaning products

On a lighter note, perhaps my father saw one of these ads and that's where he got his bright idea to use lysol to take care of his jock itch! (This was in 1981--I'm pretty sure long after Lysol was being marketed solely as a surface and not a genital cleaner). Bad enough idea to begin with, but even better he decided to do this while he and my mom were trying to conceive (ME!). My mom didn't find out until after she was pregnant that he'd been doing this for a few months. She immediately worried that his sperm would be seriously defective and called the doctor to ask. The doctor obviously thought my father was nuts but assured my mom that he didn't think the Lysol could actually penetrate through the skin and into the sperm to cause any trouble.

This was from the early 50's. I saw it on Jay Leno last night. He does the bit with the newspaper clippings.

Wow I do hope it is a "different" lysol then the one I spray around the house cause that Ad just creeped me out..

 

[lesroi]

OMG!!!

I just googled it (of course) and it says people used to use it as birth control?!?!?! (like after they did the deed in order to kill spermies)

I wish my Grandma was still around. I would TOTALLY ask her about this. Unbelievable (And did I say ?)

For that fresh pine scent.

 

[Hercules10]

For that fresh pine scent.

Lysol, not Pine-Sol, silly!

Although with some women any change in that aroma would be welcome.

Nope...I leave the cleaning to the women.

Oh and:
The first morning after God had introduced Eve to Adam, God stop to speak with Adam.
God: "Well Adam, how do you like my latest creation, Eve?"
Adam: "She's great God! One of the better creation yet!"
God: "By the way. Where is Eve?"
Adam: "Down by the lake washing up."
God: "NOOOOOOOOOO! Now I'll never get that smell outa the fish!"

I hate that it was all on the woman -like it was solely the woman's job to make things "work in the bedroom"
by the way Hercules -you are the kind of guy that I avoid like the plague.
I can't imagine anyone would find those kind of jokes funny. I hope your attitude is working out for you.
