Sideswipe: February 12: Making dinner is a real scream 10 Feb, 2021 06:43 PM 3 minutes to read The horror of the bathroom scales If you've ever stepped on the bathroom scales, then managed to glimpse their evil numbers, her's what to do next: Step one: Pick up the scales and wrap them in a towel. The horrendous numbers you saw on the scale must be hidden. So, like when the kids threw Jumanji in the river, wrap the numbers so you can no longer see them, and more importantly, they cannot see you. Step two: Begin a month-long hike into the darkest forest you can find. Find an area of deep forest. Germany is good. Take the most complicated path you can find. Go in circles, through rivers, underground. If possible, abseil. All these movements will disorientate the scales so they cannot find their way home.
