Tip for traveling:
If you use an electric toothbrush and want to bring it with you on your trip, make sure you carry it in a clear travel case or zip lock bag.
Why, you ask?
It’s simple, really. If you use a cloth bag with a drawstring and if your luggage gets searched by customs, your electric toothbrush may start to VIBRATE in a very LOUD manner.
This might cause you intense, horrific, public embarrassment.
If this situation does occur? Turning the color of Bob the Tomato while exclaiming, ‘It’s a toothbrush! I swear!! No, REALLY!!! It’s a toothbrush!!!!”, probably isn’t going to do much to diffuse the situation.
I have a feeling that this is probably still fodder at the annual Christmas party…
OMG! That is GREAT!
Hahaha this sounds like something that would happen to me for sure. I will make a mental note of this for my upcoming travels… THANKS!
I was in a customs line behind someone this happened to once! She was, I thought, very poised – when the toothbrush went off, she glanced around at everyone looking at her (or hurriedly looking away…) and yelped, “That’s my toothbrush! Really! I’ve got my vibrator in my purse!” THEN she turned the color of Bob the Tomato.
apples-It is now that I can laugh about it! :)
Emery-It’s a very “Loralee” think to do, sadly. If you suspect you are fallible take steps of precaution!
Karen-ACK! That WOULD be worse!
My kids LOVE Bob! And Larry. And the whole Veggie Tales Crew.
If you like to talk to tomatoes…
…If a squash can make you smile.
If you like to waltz with potatoes…
(King George and the Ducky rocks my world)
Bahahahaha!
…up and down the pro-duce aiiiiiiiisle…
You haven’t lived until you’ve heard the VT theme song sung 23 times before you can escape produce. I like VT…but frozen vegetables were seeming pretty appealing that particular day. Talk about a show for me! They didn’t even take the hint and switch when I started in with ‘You Are My Cheeseburger,’ although the rest of produce cleared out pretty fast, which made my progress quicker.
This is something I would WANT to happen to me. That way I could wink at whoever was going through my bag. HAHAHA.
Um… what Max were you talking about? Breaking his leg? My husband didn’t break his leg… Trent broke his ankle. Um… is this right?
Sparklie-Just wait until it happens to YOU! (Ok, it is pretty damn funny)
Karen-I was on a major major VT bender about 3 years ago. I think that was all I watched. “Oh, Barbra Manatee…You are the one for me…”
Although…The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps and The Lips song are probably my favorites.
Bridgy- JON IS A BIG, LYING STUPIDHEAD. HE says that he told me “Trent”. UH, NO! HE SAID MAX broke his ankle skateboarding. You know, during a conversation on Saturday when I kept saying “Why don’t we call Brigitte and MAX to double date” or “I need to take MAX and Brigitte their gift from the UK”.
ARG.
Sorry about that, Bridgy. Call me. We’re having “Top Chef” finale night tomorrow. You should come!
How about “The Hairbrush Song?” I’ve caught myself singing this when I can’t find it. Oh where is my hairbrush…
Ha ha! I LOVE this story.
Bob would say in this situation: “Well, Larry, what can the kids at home learn from this situation?”
And Larry would say, “I don’t know, Bob, maybe that I not only love my lips, but my teeth too? I do love my lips, you know. It’s a lip, it’s a lip, it’s a lip lip lip…”
see, where i am, a vibrator is called a B.O.B. for short. you know, battery operated boyfriend. so the analogy would go, i turned as red as a tomato, not bob the tomato, cause that gets confusing, and who has a bob the shape of a tomato? i mean, a cucumber, more likely. and the whole veggie tales analysis just killed me.
That’s pretty bad.
I had a similar experience on my honeymoon when we checking into customs from Mexico I got my bags searched in front of everyone in line. HONEYMOON = Lingerie, lotions, etc. Yeah fun times. And they all happened to be on top where the customs guy layed EVERYTHING out!
Hehe. Sorry to have reveled in your pain. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen on your next trip.
This Skepchick post made me wonder if your life lesson will be of any use to the poor souls in Alabama?
BUHAHAHA. I love the Bob reference. Big. Huge. Veggietales fans here. Love it.
I am sad to say that I have never seen an epi of Veggie Tales in my whole life. This could be a new 12 step program intro…(me)”hello, my name is Erin and I don’t watch Veggie Tales…” (group) “welcome Erin…)
Julie- “Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a towel…” I heart that one. Silly songs are the greatest.
Rachel- “Usta!” It’s Polish for ‘Lips’ dontcha know.
Pink-As my father is named “Bob” I don’t think I can think further down this path as mass spewing would occur! :S
Just me-I can’t help but think that they do stuff like that partially for the laughter at coffee break, you know?
Sparklie-Oh, I like you well enough for reveling to occur. I do it all the time. You have to or just sink into the bog of disaster and die.
Karen-HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! OMG THAT LINK!!!! “The will have to pry my vibrator out of my cold, dead hand!” Can’t breathe…laughing too hard…
Mrs. Flinger-See? I knew I loved you for a reason!
Macpiper-OMG. WOMAN!! Seriously??? Dude, I am so introducing you. I think that we would snort our heads off. I sense a slumber party in your future….
