No one has asked the important questions, so I will. Was Hannah ready for her date on time? How did the date go? Did Boots do the _very opposite_ of a reasonable resolution, and give Hannah a lifetime supply of their terrible wax strips?

A few years ago I read reviews for hair removal creams and strips on Amazon which echoed this hilarious style of writing. Some were written by men who claimed to have used this on their "delicate bits". One was funnier than the next and I practically split a gut reading them. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long, long time. Then Amazon cracked down and censored these humorous reviews and spoiled all the fun. And reviews are once again boring and dry.
