A number of years ago my friend, Rich recommended a product called “Bag Balm“ for my occasional bouts with, uh — diaper rash. Bag Balm was originally concocted as a hand preparation used by farmers (whose rough hands could be a little testy on tender cow udders!) to help make for much happier cows. After all, happier cows give more milk. Right?
Well, turns out I needed Bag Balm this past weekend, because, you see, when I work outdoors I sweat a lot and sweat pours down into my shorts and my shorts get soggy and dirt gets in there, begins to chaff things up a bit, and — by golly, you know what I mean.
I found my can of Bag Balm under the bathroom sink, right where it was supposed to be. All of which is to say, somewhat belatedly: thank you, Rich. My shorts are much happier now.
