Bad Time To Be A Metro Sexual

In 2009 I was in Orlando doing a 2 day speaking engagement at an industry trade show. It's the night before my big day of speaking( 3 hours of sales training) and I just want to relax. I got in late afternoon, checked into hotel and thought maybe a quick bite in hotel restaurant and bed. Well, Mr. Social bumps into a friend in the lobby who says "Come to dinner with me. A couple of vendors are taking me out to dinner and they'll love you" So, begrudgingly, I agree to go. There's about 14 people including me and my friend. The dinner was good and conversation was flowing. I meet a man who is the President of a personal care company that sells spa items like body lotions, lip balm, sun block, etc. We start talking and he's asking me about my personal hygiene. Whoa, slow down fella! Anyhow, we get to talking about shaving, which like a lot of men, I really don't like it. I told him after shaving I put some cream on my face, kind of an after/shave cream. He says "I got the after/shave lotion for you my man! It's an after/ shave moisturizer and has built in SPF 30 Sun Block!" He then proceeds to pull a tin of it out of his pocket. YEESH! I didn't know if I should say "Thank You" or what I was thinking ("Is that a tin of after shave in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?") Dinner ended and we all went back to our respective hotels.
The next morning I'm getting ready for a big day of speaking. I hit the shower and now its time to shave. Get done shaving and look at the tin of the "Wonder After/Shave". I say to myself "What Hell?" and rub it over my freshly shaven face. HOLY #*@1#%$* !!!! My face is on fire!!! I mean burning! I'm putting cold water on my now red face. nothing.This is not good. I run out to the hallway (in just a towel) and grab a bucket of ice from the ice machine. I dump it in the sink and dive head first into it. After about 5 minutes (not bad, holding breath that long while my face is melting)my face is cooling down. I wash the toxic cream off and begin to feel better. I go on to do my speeches that day.

When I got back to the hotel that day the first thing I thought was "Boy, am I glad I didn't eat a quick bite and call it an early evening!"

YEESH!!!!
