"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose"

The superhero community refer to it as a boob window.

Honestly, JB, I would have expected one of your bulging pecs to have ripped through that shirt...

Oh, er, yeah that's also what happened.

Ahh yes.. I will be joining you in the cream of doom application soon. Except mine is right on the bridge of my nose.. where my glasses sit. The glasses without which I am blind. Very blind. My boss seems to think I can still get to work just fine during that period. I won't be able to do anything of value, but I guess the point is, I am in the building. And probably freaking people out as my nose ulcerates under the onslaught of what is essentially a nasty acid cream.

Is that fluorouracil? I'm on that stuff. Odd name, looks like a typo but isn't. Had no idea what it does to clothes - my almost-but-not-quite-melanomas are all on my face so haven't noticed any clothing damage, but it definitely makes the skin a bit raw so I wouldn't be surprised. My dermo just gave me a hose down with liquid nitrogen so told me to give the fluorouracil a rest for a bit, but guess I'll be back at it shortly.

My dermo told me that stuff "preferentially" eats cancer cells - with the implication that it is quite willing to go for alternatives if it can't find enough melanoma to munch on. Guess that also applies to t-shirts.

what do you do? Are you allowed to cover the cream with a patch or just not wear a shirt for a bit?

Maybe a kimono like Sean Connery wears in You Only Live Twice?

It could be his official JP Birmingham outfit!

Surely a smoking jacket for Master Birmingham?
