Do you use them? Long routes? All the time? Only on walls?

... and if so have you ever pondered what the little things must think as they come out of the package? If it's late in the day the first baby wipe knows it has it made. Face, eyes, hands, maybe back of neck - cleaning project not that bad. Early in the day or third or so in line and it's trouble - the mission: goin' underground. You can just hear the poor little baby wipe screaming... "no... NO! not down THEEEERRE!" - cleaning project YDFS.

Standard gear. I have a heavyweight ziploc bag that has a few kleenex, some toilet paper and a small ziploc with maybe a half dozen baby wipes per day. Beats the hell out of the inevitable panty mash phenomenon.

Poor baby wipes, at the factory they were promised a future of soothing the young, tender behinds of -- well, babies. A noble, if not messy future. The idea that they may end up as a cleaning tool for scabby, calloused and hairy climbers, or worse yet, the nether regions of such individuals must be a shocking end to a promising career.

Kath - it is a comedy routine. I have to give credit to a buddy for originating the idea and performs it on occasion. It made me feel so bad to think about 'em i founded Babywipes United TrusT (BUTT). donations are welcome.
