Although my wife enjoys the finer things in life, she really doesn't understand my "obsession" with my watch(s). I think that she finally thinks I'm crazy after she "caught" me last night flossing my watch with dental floss! We went out to a great dinner, and a few hours after we returned I noticed there was something under the bezel of my sub. It looked like some sauce or soup got under the bezel and was now dried up and caked up under the bezel. Well, of course I had to clean up the sub. So after running it under some cool water, the gunk was still under the bezel. So, being the resourceful kind of guy that I am, I took a piece of dental floss out of the medicine chest and slid it under the bezel to "floss" out the gunk. As I was doing this, my wife walked in and sees me dental flossing my watch!! She just put her hand up and said "You do whatever makes you happy, I'm not even going to ask what you're doing." It was pretty funny, and I didn't even explain myself, but it worked great and got all the gunk out from under the bezel. Next time I'll remember to close the bathroom door.

You know that your post opens the door to a barage of crazy answers?

As long as she didn't catch you in one of her dresses I guess you've got nothing to worry about

P.S. I slept with my Sub under my pillow for a while, just to see the hands glow in the dark...

GREAT story!! Thanks for sharin!

Thats the greatest thing I have heard in a while. Thanks for sharing. My g/f thinks I am nuts too about my watches.

At least we all can acknowledge that we are SICK

Launch Mini · 9 May 2006, 09:48 AM

We all think it's funny, because we can all picture ourselves doing that

Uncle-AJ · 9 May 2006, 12:16 PM

That's not too bad..........................JJ was once caught flossing a sheep.

How many posts have been made with the words 'JJ' and "sheep" in the same sentence?

I'm setting the over under at 763.

Launch Mini · 9 May 2006, 01:09 PM

OVER, I say it's gotta be pushing 1,000
( JJ that sheep tosser might say differently

)
Had to get one more in , just in case

Mrdi · 9 May 2006, 01:15 PM

Hmmm
I didn't realize JJ's sheep had bezels.

Doc,
If all you get accused of, after closing the door to the head, is flossing, you are in great shape.

Launch Mini · 9 May 2006, 01:32 PM

Back up the story,
How did you get soup or sauce under your bezel. I think the real story lies with what was happening at the restaurant.

Great story, Doc...I'm laughing my ass off!!

But an easier way to get dried up gunk out is by using a toothbrush....never failed me in over a quarter of a century!!

So that's how all your sheep have such nice pearly whites, huh, JJ?

That was a shocking gif JJ, so I've removed it.

DocD · 9 May 2006, 10:59 PM

After downing a few Ketel One's over ice, I guess my aim wasn't great and some of the sauce must have splattered on my watch. But, I was feeling no pain at the time! If anything else happened at the restaurant, I'll have to rely on someone else's memory! J.J. I found that the dental floss slid under the rotating bezel much better than the bristles of the tooth brush. But if my wife sees me with a tooth brush next time, after seeing me with dental floss this time, she's REALLY gonna' think I've gone over the edge. I guess for my birthday she'll be looking for a book on "Dental hygiene for Watches"

Ah, just must be one of the good guys. The Vodka or the Jenever? Both are very tasty, very sweet

(Although the Jenever is an aquired taste. Takes a bit getting used to. Took me about one glass

).

What's wrong with tossing? It's like shaving.

I always remember an old guy who worked in the bar at the Pulitzer Hotel in Amsterdam. When he got to know you better as the night went on, he would pull out his bottle of special Jenever and let you have a glass or two. I don't think I could drink much of it but it was very nice.

PS

I'm sorry I wrote that about the Dutch Frans.

This looks like a knock-knock joke. So: what did you write about the Dutch?
