Icon8 My wife wants a cosmetic procedure

Apparently a beauty mark is now a ‘skin tag’.

I offered to remove it with a barber razor and cauterize after a few dozen White Claws but she’s not into it.

She knows full well (probably not) I didn’t get rich enough to own yachts, homes and rolexeseses simply to toss away $5k on every beauty mark.

We’ve all become too spoiled I tell you!

Do you think I should just pay the $5k or save it for a few spare Rolex links, and ask about the home procedure again? We’ve all done home remedies, no?

Have you looked at paint tester pots? Don't skimp on the brush though, it is a mistake many make.

You mean like cut some skin off and go to Home Depot and they’ll match the pigment to a paint? This has to be a $b idea.

Even my butler said he’d do the same, and my landscapers said they’d do it for free.

This. Stick a frozen hamburger patty on it for about five minutes then flick the skin tag like a booger. You should be all set.

Of course not, don’t be ridiculous . After the five minutes throw it on the grill. The cooking process will kill any germs. Obviously your wife will just have to wait for the next time you feel like a burger.

More first hand experience then wisdom but then again I suppose the former is the building block of the latter.

You want a sushi chef. They have the sharpest knives.

Wait, let me think. The guy slicing lox has a really sharp knife also. This lox guy at our deli also does bris at synagogue. Hey, you might be able to get an After-Bris deal. I know our lox guy is always looking for a few extra bucks.

Chewey, when I first glanced at your thread title I thought it read: “My wife wants a lobotomy” I was about to post: Well who could blame her? Guess I misread it.

Which White Claws?

I like the Iced Tea White Claws...... but, they changed the formula and call it Refreshr iced teas. Big downgrade if you ask me.

If you have an iron gut then locks would probably be OK.

But lox would taste better…

I say Chewy should have his own sub-forum on TRF.
Guaranteed to be far more entertaining than the endless “investment” threads.

Why does this ‘anlbesol’ sound like a hemorrhoid treatment?

I’ve always been a serious student when it comes to this Forum ever since I learned Loctite without the ‘e’ creates confusion followed by giddiness for Paul and Jocke.

Buy a few spare Rolex links, heat one up very hot, use needle nose pliers, press down with medium pressure on "beauty mark" and problem is solved.

Two birds, one stone or link...

Get her drunk first, show her your new Rolex links and say. "I just had a great idea..."
