Related: About this forumI tried to brush my teeth upside-down last night. Flabbergasted, I stared at the toothbrush.
Could not believe I'd squeezed toothpaste onto the bottom of the brush. Momentarily stunned, I got the toothpaste onto my tongue and turned
the brush side up.
This is a re-creation picture. But I'm sure it looked like this.

Not as bad as using a knife upside down -- particularly if you need to push down on the blade.

I was cleaning the windows on my car and squirted Windex through an open window.
I actually looked around to see if any of the neighbors saw what I did.
George McGovern

We have a couple of knives w/odd-shaped blades -- fortunately not our sharpest ones.
