If you could close your ears, would you?

So if humans evolved allowing us to close our ears at night, ensuring an easier passage to sleep, would you risk it,

or would the fear of not hearing a smoke alarm or something be too great?

when would you use it?

When the girlfriend has her friends over for a "gossip"

would the fear of not hearing a smoke alarm or something be too great?

Different evolution would surely have dictated different design.

If I was the only person who could do it, I'd do it the whole time just to freak people out. I'm a pretty heavy sleeper so even if there was a fire alarm I'd probably sleep right through it so I'd probably use it.

I wish i could close em during the day time too...wimmin..ohh maybe BGRH is better.

My smoke alarm would send deep vibrations so I would feel it.

I sleep right through the smoke and house alarms going off anyway. I've slept through 4 break-ins in the past, besides, hearing the house alarm go off in the middle of the night would freak me out.

If I could close my ears, the only time I'd use it is on a plane. I fcking hate sitting through hours of babys continuously screaming and I wish the airlines would do something about it. It's extremely unpleasant.

Women would just abuse these tbh. Look at what happened electric toothbrushes.

When one of those stupid ads comes on about ringtones. e.g. how about this crying baby? wtf why would anybody want that noise :mad:

How about this nails on a blackbird, sound a man having a Donal Trump or what about this really loud wankery siren to let all your w@nker mates know what an awfully w@nkery w@nk you really are?

rb_ie, they already have the facility to dispense gases through the mask over your head. It wouldn't take much to modify them so that they can dispense knockout gas/gaseous calpol/cs gas*. Everybody's happy.

Glass houses etc. Don't forget that some focus group gave Gillette the thumbs up on a vibrating razor for men. :eek:

Fusion my arse.. so to speak.

GhostInTheRuins

I love to be able to do it.

WoollyRedHat

So this would be a good present for the woman then?

There is a difference between a vibrating toothbrush and a vibrating razor blade. Only an emo would get sexual pleasure from sticking a vibrating razor blade up their hole.

What the Gillette Fusion? If you want her to shave don't buy her a razor ya feckin loolah. She'll rip your head off.

Instead buy yourself the most expensive razor you can find and make it clear that it's yours. Engraving your name on the handle helps. Then she'll inevitably use it out of sheer spite/womanliness. She stops going around like a French chick so you're happy and she thinks she's getting one up on you so she's happy.

Handle first AC. That's why you can't sit down comfortably any more.

If I had it my way, babies would be checked in along with the luggage and stored under the plane.

I can just see the scne at the luggage carousel:

"Charles Charles, is that ours?"
"No Maria, ours had a blue baby-gro on. Look there's ours now."
"Well go on push in there and get it."
"Oh... sh1t... I missed it."
"Don't worry it'll come around again."
"...I wonder who owns that battered one that keeps going around unclaimed."
"THIS IS AN AIRPORT POLICE ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY UNATTENDED BABIES WILL BE DESTROYED."

I have tinitus, so it's actually worse when it's quiet.
That and hearing the deathclock when it's really quiet, you don't want that now.
