Title: Old Wives Tales- What do you know or heard? Post by: Sacha on Saturday 30 August, 2008 Today I heard two I find really strange from an old work mate. She told me that she accidentally poured boiling hot water straight from the kettle on her hand and a work colleague said pour some petrol on it. Well my mate did and she said it was instant relief. Seems strange to me why petrol would work. I asked was it unleaded? :laugh: Another she told me was for bruises. peel a potato and strap a piece to the bruise over night. I told another mate this one and he reckons eating lots of tomatoes for bruises. What do you know or have heard? Title: Re: Old Wives Tales- What do you know or heard?
