I did once put my balls into an airhead. We've been going out ever since.

When you say "going out" do you really mean "she's locked in your bathroom sobbing"

I have a fear that the airblade is blowing someone else's stale piss over my hands.

How hygienic are these things?

They do always seem a bit temperamental, I find that when I slowly pull my hands up through it the air stops too early and the ends of my fingers are still wet.

Same here, but found it works if you move your hands up and down in the airflow. Still can't beat the Excelerator!

Indeed, there's nothing quite like sticking your hands under a jet engine.

I'm sure we are all now aware of this invention.
Dry your hands in 15 seconds:-

Now far be it of me to tell The Dysotron how to run his business, but surely he's missing a gap in the market.

A giant Airblade attached to either side of the bathroom door frame, and post bath or shower your whole body would be dry in 15 secs, 20 if you touch your toes.

Be honest who actually has the time or patience to dry themselves properly, anyway.
All that kerfuffle, time and stress saved simply by slowly walking out the door.

genius. Absolute genius.

edit: I've never seen one of the swimming pool ones either

I'd go for Dr Christian Jessop, who would lend the advert an air of medical authenticity. I would have said Richard Hammond, but he'd have trouble reaching.

How about knoblow then, or blowknob.

Wonder who they would get to front the tv advert

Has to be Bradley Wiggins, huge profile at the moment.......they could show him checking out a wet patch at the front of his cycling shorts then getting knocked over by a van outside a petrol station. Then he could scrape himself off the floor and say into the camera.

"If only I'd dried my knob on a knowblow."

Thread starting somewhat mundanely but quickly reached the "trying not to laugh too loud to wake anyone up crying and ending nearly inducing a hernia through trying to supress hysteria" level.

Meanwhile here is the Daily Mash take on it

Airblades are the coolest invention that has come out in a long time. Always disapointed when i get a wannabe Airblade such as an Xcelerator to dry my hands.
