THICKER SKIN

I somehow cut my big toe today. I'm not sure how but I was outside doing some gardening and when I came inside I saw that the toe was bleeding. I hadn't noticed doing it. Bugger!

What humans need is tougher skin.
Sure we've all heard that expression 'thick-skinned as in:

The definition of thick skinned is someone who is not easily upset or insulted and who can take criticism well. An example of thick skinned is a person who is insulted and simply says "whatever, I don't care."

But I'm talking of literal thick-skin not metaphorical thick-skin.

I propose coming up with a skin cream that does the opposite of all of those hellishly expensive skin softening creams that women use.

Have you ever had a callus on your toe or thumb? Musicians get these a lot especially the silly buggers who play stringed instruments. I guess if they played their instruments with their feet as well as their hands they wouldn't have a problem with cut toes.

My idea is to invent* and market a cream that roughens up the skin on hands, feet, knees, elbows, top-of-the-head for old bald bastards, shins and any other parts that are prone to getting cut or grazed when outdoors gardening of playing sport.

I think I'm on a winner here and am accepting start-up funding from interested investors. Are you in?








* I'm the ideas guy. I'll have to contract out the cream creation to some scientific guys.
