[:)] "HOW TO DEAL WITH WATER-BASED PAINT STAIN ON FABRIC... the brian way"

Recently, i was faced with a dilemma that utterly challenged my philosophies in life. It was problem so convoluted, i had to transcend the borders of logic just to resolve it. It was dreadful. Horrible. And since I care about my readers so much [xD] I made this new section to my blog: "D.I.Y. the Brian™ Way" So that you don't have to experience all the hassle I had to go through in my day just in case you encounter the same trouble.

So, without further ado, here is...

HOW TO DEAL WITH WATER-BASED PAINT STAIN
...the Brian™ way [:D]

BACKGROUND:

One day, as he was painting paradise on a large piece of canvass, he accidentally dripped bright yellow paint on his favorite pair of training shorts. Knowing the paint he was using is actually water-based, and comes off easily on skin even without soap, he didn't give much concern.

A few hours later, he decided to wash off the blemish using detergent powder. To his surprise, no matter how hard he tried, the stain didn't seem to show any signs of shaking off.

Exasperated, he opened his laptop, hooked up the net, and googled for a solution to his problem. Ironically, every HOW-TO article he saw, emphasized one vital directive. That is, to never let the paint dry out, or else, removing the stain would be next to impossible.

And it was true. It barely came off.

So he grabbed his pair of shorts. Stared at the blot for a few moments. Closed his eyes. And contemplated on the best course of action he could probably come up with. And this was what he thought...


INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Stare at the imperfection you have made for at least 10 seconds.

2. Pest yourself asking why in the world would anyone in the right mind let a paint stain dry.

3. If you are not irritated enough, repeat steps 1 and 2. Once convinced that you are truly one daft individual, continue to step 4.

4. Think of a proverb. If you don't know one, invent.

5. Utilize your daftness, and use your proverb to formulate your very own stupid, yet original, way to solve the problem.

6. Carry out your ingenious plan.

7. Celebrate your stupidity. Treat yourself a candy or two.


...so, wonder what i proverb i came up with? [:D] Read on:

MY COURSE of ACTION: Since the yellow paint really stood out on my gray training shorts, and considering the fact that water-based paint, when dry, hardly ever come off of fabric, I decided to patch up the stain using... dandaradan! GRAY WATER-BASED PAINT! Yeah... and using brown paint to add the fine details, I was actually able to cover the blemish using another beautifully painted blemish. You judge...
