Why do so many hair and skincare products look so very much like semen? And
furthermore, why do these same products also come packaged in pump/squirt
bottles?

I think this thought happened in part because last night when I was washing
my hands, the soap shot all the way across the sink onto the crotch of my
pants instead of tamely dropping into my hands as it was supposed to.

Probably to tie in with the fact the commercials for those products almost
always feature naked beautiful women who appear to get an orgasm from
schampooing.

There was one that was really over the top, and had something that can only
be described as schampoo bukkake. The brand was called "Organics" or
something like that, and I could never see their logo without misreading the
name as "Orgasmic".

Things like that has happened to all of us.

Well, they look like other things as well. For instance, only Mr.
Spock has green semen. There's surely some other reason why this came,
as it were, to mind.

I think soap probably just has to look like that.

Customer demand, possibly.

Uhuh.

"There's Something About Stacie".

Thoroughly washing it off doesn't look much better, does it? A problem
I've had...

Urr...

I probably shouldn't now admit that the second-last soap-pump thing I
bought refused to squirt at all and the last one I bought - to replace the
one I'm now forced to think of as impotent - contains blue sem...soap.

Last week a pidgeon managed to score a bull's-eye on the front inner thigh
of my black denims. Of course, when I tried to wash it off in the toilets
at work it just spread into a greyish-white smear...

Many shampoo commercials, especially said organics one, have me
growling at the screen, praying for a painful death to all lazy ad
teams.

Wasn't that their intention? A similar thought is that many such products,
especially roll-on deodorants, come in remarkably phallic bottles.

That's 'cos you need to *scrape* it off before washing it off. Much
better results.

Probably. I can't imagine it being a good marketing campaign, though. I
regocnised the brand in the store and even though I usually just grab some
random schampoo for fine hair, I purposefully avoided the orgasmic one.
Talking about it with friends and colleagues, I wasn't the only one.

Brand recognition in itself is not worth much if it makes the customers
avoid the brand.

I hadn't noticed, and looking at the one I currently have I sincerely hope
no-one has a phallus that looks like that.

Here we have a demonstration of the Law Of Perversity Of The Universe;
"The perversity of the universe tends toward a maximum." By any
chance, were you already close to running late for an errand or
appointment? What is often regarded as the operation of Murphy's Law
in sucn an instance may actually be Perversity instead.

I forget, are you involved in the law? Because I had to think for an
awfully long time before it occurred to me that you meant subpoena.
"It must be a joke because it doesn't make sense to me otherwise, but
then maybe it's something I don't know about because two pages of
_Forever..._ by Judy Blume were stuck together." I was heading for
Google then it clicked...

Let me guess, you have a well-known criminal practice...

I think that, like for most "phallic" objects, is because
that a cylinder with something on the end is a very handy

I can't put my finger on it (which is probably good, for reasons of
Hygiene), but for some reason that sentence looks dirty to me. Possibly the
word "handy" has something to do with it.

So now I'm waiting for someone with a mind dirtier than mine to make a
clever innuendo out of it.

Pretty neat, isn't it, what one can achieve with just one
innocent word in the right place :o)

I've got an ice stalagmite in the door of my freezer which looks *very*
much like a phallic symbol. Hang on, let me go get a photograph.

No words are innocent. They are all guilty without exception. Either they
already deviously impersonate various unsavoury concepts, or they are in
the queueueue waiting their turn to become a euphemism for something most
of us didn't really want to know about. Words are not our friends. Boycott

Wow...looks like you've got an anti gravity freezer.
Shape reminds me of some sort of mushroom...which again reminded other
people of a phallus.

I remember not only Wacky Races, but also the Stop the Pigeon thing
(although I don't recall whether that was its exact name). ISTR that it
sometimes rode piggy-back on a WR showing, BICBW.

For those who don't know, DD traded in his cheatmobile for a WW1 dogfighting
crate. His task was to stop a British carrier pigeon from bearing a message
back behind British lines. Naturally, he never managed it.

That is an obvious fabrication, I can tell. There's an alleged
freezer shelf in the background that isn't covered with frost, there's
an apparently empty shelf visible, and there's not a single plastic
container or wrapping whose contents are impossible to determine.
This is obviously either a fake freezer used for the purpose of taking
photographs, or a digitally created image of a freezer. Or you're an
alien; humans don't have freezers like that.

This is afp, we probably *own* those cartoons.

Dastardly & Muttley In Their Flying Machines/Stop The Pigeon/Dastardly &
Muttley (whatever name you know it by) is hardly obscure though, it's
Hanna-Barbera FFS.

The food stays frozen, though, which is the main thing.

I thought the brand name on the loaf of bread added a nice touch to
that photograph.

I can't understand why people keep bread in the freezer. I mean, why
not just buy it fresh?

The exact title, IIRC was quite a mouthfull: "Dastardly and Mutley in Their
