This facial cream is just ‘super’

ACCIDENT prone Toowoomba businessman has done it again.

Prescribed some cancer cream by his doctor to apply to his head and face to ward off sun spots, our man covered his head and face with the “cream” from the tube.

However, it was only when he had completed the job that he and his good wife realised he had the wrong tube.

Instead of the prescribed cancer cream, the chap had covered his head and face with super glue.

His good wife frantically surfed the internet for a remedy. Yes, apparently, this isn’t the first occasion someone has applied super glue to their face.

For those who find themselves in such a situation in the future, the remedy is nail polish which is applied over the glue and then removed, hopefully pulling up the glue with it.

Unfortunately, though this remedy proved fairly effective, the good wife still had to get the razor out and shave sections of her husband’s noggin, including one eyebrow, to complete the job.

Whispers hears our man is quite the sight walking about with one eyebrow and only clumps of hair atop his now very shiny head.

Sobering moment

POPULAR barman about town has Wednesday and Thursday off as his “weekend” and usually spends much of those days visiting various watering holes around Toowoomba catching up with other bar staff and friends.

There being rugby league pre-semi-final play-offs at his club’s ground of Glenholme Park, the barman and a mate decided to put down their drinks at a Russell St pub and head out to watch the Souths v Gatton play-off match.

Even though our man’s a Brothers club supporter, he was happy to go along to watch the match and to enjoy a few cans of beer on the hill.

Imagine his dismay then when the pair arrived at the ground to find there was no bar in operation. He tells Whispers it was the driest night off he’d had in years.

My brilliant Korea

SOUTH Korean lady has recently moved to Toowoomba to be near a daughter and her family as well as her born and bred Toowoombaite boyfriend.

Naturally, her English is still a work in progress while her boyfriend’s command of Korean is non-existent.

However, with translation dictionaries in hand and much hand gesturing the couple get by and enjoy each other’s company.

The duo ventured to Brisbane Airport last week to pick up another daughter of the lady and, with both unsure as to the correct route to take, it was decided the boyfriend would drive and the girlfriend would navigate.

Fortunately, they had a hand-held satellite navigator to direct them, though this was of little help to the driver as his girlfriend had set it to give directions in Korean.

Despite some moments of panic due to time lapse in translation, our man got them to Toowong where his bride instructed him to take the tunnel to the airport.

Not long into the tunnel, the girlfriend remarked “Wong tunnel”, sending the driver into another panic.

“How do I get out of this tunnel then?” he screamed in panic.

“No,” his girlfriend replied, “Not wong tunnel... wong tunnel.”

He worked out she was telling him it was a long tunnel.
