When one fortune cookie slip just isn't enough...

You can always buy a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, each of which comes wrapped in a veritable volume of proverbs, sayings, bits of advice, and a whole lot of randomness:

dr-bronner-peppermint-soap-label

Click the picture to see this at full size--attempting to read the text by looking at the thumbnail is cruel and unusual for your eyes. I stuck it in the same OCR program I used on the Troopergate report and it did the equivalent and curling up in a fetal position in the corner, then soiling itself. Can't say I blame it.

Now, it's time to play "Where on this damned label is the line Clarus is talking about?"

  1. The directions tell you to tingle. I've never willed myself to tingle. Is this physiologically possible?
  2. One of the uses for this soap is apparently "Beach". Along with "uniforms" and "diapers"..."beach". Now, I heard you can get a lot of use out of one of these bottles of soap, but even that is a little ambitious, don't you think, doctor?
  3. Nine minutes? Where the hell did that number come from? Is ten really too many?
  4. This guy is seriously hot for hyphens.
  5. Did you know that the "M" and "A" in the name "Thomas" are optional?
