BenGay
  BenGay®, Icy
Hot® and other forms of pain relieving
lotions can be applied to items that will come into contact
with delicate human skin to produce the opposite of pain
relief: pain giving. We have all heard of high school kids
putting Icy Hot on the jockstraps of unsuspecting classmates
in the locker room.
I never really found this gag to be funny
because I could sympathize with the poor bastard who thought
his family jewels had just been set ablaze. However, once
when I spent the night at a good friend's house, I did put
a thin layer of BenGay on his stick of deodorant. After
taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom waving his
elbows up and down and proclaiming, "Phwewwww! Man, my armpits
are burning!"
As I rolled on the ground with laughter,
I had to let him know the source of his pain. We still laugh
about that joke from time to time. I know, it's cruel like
the jockstrap joke, but it somehow just felt right at the
time.
