After mostly snoozing through The English Patient, I somehow managed to get intrigued by the idea of washing my hair with olive oil, like one of the characters did onscreen.

Tried it the next day, and wound up having olive oil in my eye sockets for the next couple days. For me, it was much worse than going to the optometrist's office and getting the eye-drops that kept one from focusing for the next ~4hrs.

So yeah, that was the first & last time I tried that. :S
