I used Kanka when I had a kanker sore in my mouth. Having a numb mouth for a long period time is horrible-- I ended up biting my cheek constantly and it just made everything worse. I'll never use Kanka again.

Having a numb lip when you're interviewing for a job probably wouldn't be the best thing either.

So many out of context jokes could be played off this.... :evil:

I was serious about Carmex. Put that stuff on throughout the day and overnight, and then it will be gone.
