A grandmother once told me that back in the day she would dip her babies' pacifiers in whiskey to soothe them when they started teething.
Twisted Old Wives' Tales



Whisky is actually quite a potent weapon in a parent’s arsenal.
My mother in law tells the story of when my wife was a baby and crying from teething pain. Chellie, my mother in law, called her pediatrician in tears asking what she should do as her daughter was inconsolable and would sleep etc.
Doc: Do you have any whisky in the house?
Chellie: Yes, I do what should I do?
Doc: Pour a tall glass…
Chellie: And rub it on her gums?
Doc: No pour a tall glass go into the bathroom and drink it.

Strange wives tales?
So I have an ex-wife....
They don't get much stranger than her.


Uh, I used to have one on my dart board. When I got remarried I tossed anything that had her in it.



I've actually heard the cat one before.
We have 3 cats, and we heard that a lot when our son was born.

To rid yourself of worts:
Take 1 potato, cut it in half. Burry one half (of course) rub the other half on the worty area. Then put that part of the tater in a cool dry place. As the spud dries up to nothing so will your worts. Eh? EH?
