Sometimes you can get blisters from doing all manner of things. Blisters can take on all sorts of different meanings to different people. So when you talk about blisters, you need to understand that the person listening to your painful blabber about how your blister hurts, may be thinking of a different type of blister.
I have had blisters, but always considered them to be something I get when I do manual labour with a shovel or pick. My pristine hands are only pen friendly.....at best. Some people look at my hands and wonder how I got blisters on the palm of my hands...........you see......people are seeing blisters as different things, but I hate it when they call me a wanker.
Sometimes you can be working too close to fire, reach over to pick up a nearby stick to throw on, and bingo, you burn yourself on a hot coal. The end result is a blister. To some people this is the only worthwhile blister.......why? Why should this blister be different than the aforementioned shovel blister?
The reason is simple.........people come out with the PISS stories.
Everyone will tell you when you get burned and a blister painfully appears on some part of your body, the ONLY thing that will fix it is..................yep...........bodily liquids straight from the urinary vessel. The old "ya gotta piss on it mate" story. There are very few people around that disagree with this horrible solution, in fact, most people, even the more upright citizen, loves to tell you to piss on the blister.
Now without getting sicko about this...............what is it about this solution? It may have some degree of truth, but why do so many people love telling you to piss on it? Are they secret members of the Golden club? The club where everything is golden, from their bracelets and necklaces to the fillings in their teeth. They love golden clothes and gold on their fingers. Their cars have to be gold in colour.
But..........they love golden showers. Does this mean their bodies are covered in blisters??
Anyway, moving on.
Some people get blisters on their feet after running lots of kilometres in the wrong sized shoe. These are marathon blister lovers. The pain of the endeavour is the important thing, not the athletic prowess, just the pain. They just get out a blunt needle, and while downing a sports drink whack the needle into the blister and watch it spurt all over their buddies sausage roll. Sick bastards.
You can probably get my drift by now, blisters can mean different things and can create a whole world on its own.
Which leads me to this great video of a local group "OFFSHORE". Here they perform "blisters in the sun" - enjoy
Aloha
