Bandaid rule #47

47. If you wear bandaids at the gym, because you have a very long run on the dreadmill, make sure you take them off immediately after undressing. Otherwise, if you have to walk the entire length of the locker room to the shower, you will pass 100 people who will give you wierd smirky looks. The good news is that when you finally get in the shower, realize you have bandaids on your nipples still, you can stay there for 45 minutes until all the other smirking by members have gone home. Hopefully they won’t blog about you.

    Why not do the 5 minutes of sandpaper every night like I do to keep them tough?

    So which is better? Bandaids (Nip Guards in my case), or the white shirt with two bloody stains dripping down the front? Cause that’s real attractive too.

    I guess this will make it apparent that I do not work out, but why in the hell do you wear bandaids on your nipples?!?

    Wonder what the YMCA would say to this particular nipple issue. You should stand your ground and wear those band aids “anytime, anywhere.”

    I’m at school but I’m basically crying in the computer lab from this entry. OH MY GOD. I look like an idiot smiling at the computer screen-but still probably not as silly as you looked…

    Maybe I could sell you some “nipple nibbler” from my new side business, it doubles as a lip balm! BTW, the cake recipe was a big hit with my friends at work, I will be using it for the cake I enter on Sat. Thanks, again!

    Thanks for the mid-day laugh! I’m sure at least 1 of the 100 people knew what was going on.
    So how was the very long run on the dreadmill?

    Clear nail polish! Liquid Bandaid works too! Invisable and you can look like a tough man too!

    Very funny! I definitely think you should get the kiddie bandaids. Think of all the super cool designs you can choose from: Spiderman, Little Mermaid, Spongebob…

    You’re *sure* they were staring at the bandaids? Perhaps what you thought were smirks was actually envy and admiration.

    Does the ripping of the band-aids of your manly nipples cause you to yelp in agony? If that’s the case, the shower treatment ain’t a bad idea! Besides, ya might as well march through the locker room like it ain’t nobody’s business…start a new nipple trend like the NFL guys with the breathe-right nasal strips! ;-)

    what a riot!!

    do you really need bandaids for your training runs? i always used bodyglide pretty liberally and it seemed to work. (though for the marathon i got nervous and used some sort of homemade bandaid concoction.)

    Next time just tell them your wife is into some really kinky stuff and, well, you just need to keep the nips covered. They’ll be envious, not smirking, with that info.

    but do you really need an excuse for a forty five minute shower? I don’t.

    Oh, that’s hilarious. I’m sure so many of them have no idea why you’d ever wear B_A’s on the nips.
