Boils: Classic or Dud, Search and Destroy

I'm just beginning to see the light. It's all so clear. I've been living a nightmare; obssessed with other people's acne; racking my brains trying to be original about boils. I've been going berserk. But then I suddenly thought of a pork pie; I tell you, it was like a fucking brainwave. I have discovered that brains are being laundered daily; I have found that out, but it shall be NO MORE!

How would I recognise a boil, where I to have one?

I had one once, it was so painful I could barely walk and it eventually exploded pus when I "lanced" it out of frustration. I think you'll know if you get one, I hope you don't.

four months pass...

Old family boil remedy, for real:

Boil a mason jar in a large pot of water. Place mouth of jar over boil; make sure to maintain seal. As hot air inside jar cools and contracts, the lower air pressure inside the jar will make the boil come to a head and eventually suck the matter out. I hear that it can produce a pretty satisfying THWACK as the pus hits the bottom of the jar.

and a THWACK as you hit the floor in a dead faint.

So guys, if a stranger slinks up to you and purrs, "Hey baby, mind if I cup your balls?" RUN AWAY AND DON'T LOOK BACK.

But what if you do it?

especially when the words "a pretty satisfying THWACK" are used.

The guy who started this thread is named after a Talk Talk song off Laughing Stock. I am confuzzled.

(I like this Dada chap/ess tho.)
