A classic from the year 2014, and it might surprise you to learn that it is not about pantomime dames.

At least, we don’t think it’s about pantomime dames.

Swindon Advertiser: Disgruntled customer rolls up to the Swindon branch of Wickes in his bath robe and boxer shorts to complain about lack of action on his faulty shower unit, and the Advertiser is there

And [to prove it had nothing at all to do with pantomime dames] he went off to a dress rehearsal of The Mikado with the North Wiltshire Gilbert and Sullivan Players.

The Adver picks up the story:

“When I spoke with the store manager over the phone he said to come down and we could use the shower there so that’s what I did,” said John.

“I came down in my dressing gown but the manager then told me he was only joking.

“He then called the police and threatened to have me thrown out of the store.”

Fair. Nobody wants to go shopping in Wickes an accidentally see a man’s naked Hampton. Or their bumhole. Or possibly both.

And he can count himself lucky that he’s not this guy.

Portsmouth News: Shopper’s Gentleman’s Area burned by Korean 99p shower gel

A minimum standard for shower gel is that is doesn’t set fire to your plums and leave your old man feeling like it’s being attacked by a cheese grater.

The News says: “A review of the product packaging identified it as most likely a product originally made for the Korean market”

This is because Koreans DO like having their genitals set on fire by shower products.

Good thing he didn’t get the 98p version.
