Years ago I was going on a first date with a pretty hot girl. She showed up and before heading out to eat we decided to have a drink at my place first.
She very gingerly sat down on a chair while I went to grab the drinks. I noticed this and later noticed that she seemed to be uncomfortable every once in a while and sort of switched positions on the chair and winced everytime she did so.
She then offered the reason before I even asked.
"Sorry, I had some hemoroids removed today and I'm pretty sore."
For some reason I could never look at her the same way again after being told that. There was no second date.
But...it prompted a rather interesting conversation with a friend of mine a few days later while in the car. We talked about this poor girl's predicament (and he concurred that her admitting to having hemeroids cut off just before a first date would have resulted in an immediate end to any future dates) and I came up with the idea for toilet paper that was lightly treated in anti-hemoroid preventative medication as a way to possibly mitigate any such pre-date conversations in the future.
About a year later I saw an ad for roughly the same product...made by one of the larger bum-wipe maufacturers.
I should have patented that.
