Nico and keeping the sweat out of his eyes

Nico Rosberg reveals he wears a woman's sanitary towel on his head

Mercedes driver discloses secret to dealing with sweat while racing

By William Esler

Nico Rosberg reveals his secret to dealing with sweat caused by the heat in Malaysia

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ's Craig Slater, the German, who suffers from an eye problem which is aggravated when sweat trickles into his eye, disclosed how he deals with the problem.

Rosberg said: "I have an issue with my eye when I sweat a lot so that is what the headband is for. Actually I do have sort of a headband in my helmet, it is my trick, but I can tell you.

"I put a woman's... erm... what do you call them? The thing you put in your underwear."

Craig Slater: "Tights?"

NR: "No, inside the underwear."

CS: "Sanitary towel?"

NR: "Sanitary towel - I put that on my forehead in my helmet to take up the sweat."
Shame he does not race for Red Bull, because, "...it gives you wings."

I'll be here all week folks. Be sure to tip your waitress.

At a former job one of my co-workers was married to the sales representative for Kimberly Clark. Part of her job was to go to the stores and pick up damaged packages of Kleenex or whatever paper product had a crushed box that no customer would buy.

She always had a trunk full of paper products she gave away to friends. Free Kleenex in crushed box was OK. She kept trying to give me boxes of brand new feminine hygiene products. She said they are great for waxing a car.

I always declined. I told her the day I go to the garage and break open a box of whatever and start waxing my car every buddy I know will just happen to drop by and start asking questions about the box of products. I did not need that grief.

I think this is a great opportunity to "take back the medicine chest".
Think of the pile of stuff the average female has in the bathroom. Why not use some of that stuff for a really useful purpose, such a waxing your car? Where else can you get lint free absorbent applicators?
I would think they would be perfect for applying stain to woodworking projects too.

Take back the medicine chest!
