Am I sweating blue ink? →[More:]So I used one of those clear gel antiperspirants, and one day, after walking around and sweating a lot I came home found I had bluish stains on the armpits of my shirt. I was wearing a grey jacket with a grey silk lining. Did the chemicals react with the salts in my body? Is that even possible? Am I not actually a human? WTF?

That's the very same deodorant I use, pie, and I've never had blue stains. I guess it could be a body chemistry thing, but I bet it was from your jacket.

You use pie for deodorant? I find that baked goods make poor sweat reducers although a salt bagel will do in a pinch.

Hmm. Does it look like this? -- Possibly NSFW: toddler ass.

What the hell did you feed him? and no, my shirt doesn't look like an ass. The blue part, sort of, but not the ass part.

Do you happen to have an imaginary friend?

it's ok. go see a doctor if you start peeing blue, though.

Another vote for the jacket. And I believe that's ColdChef's daughter that ufez linked to.

Mr. Pie - your tentacles and armpit discoloration are disturbing the rest of the class. Please refrain from gesticulation or you will be taken to the Principal's Office.
