still better than using deodorant as aerosol. I once had a mental blank like that, spraying shave lotion on the armpits. It was 4 a.m. though and I was really not awake at that time.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Heh. I've done the opposite, spraying deodorant in my hands for the best part of 10 seconds before realising it wasn't shaving foam. No excuses either, I was wide awake and not hungover or anything.

In CM01/02 I had a player come up through my Youth Academy, and after about 6-7 great years of service he was actually voted European Footballer of the Year. But he wanted to move to a bigger club than Heybridge, as you would expect.
So I put him on the list, and as anyone who's played 30+ seasons will know, a lot of the foreign clubs (playing in leagues not active) accumulate a shedload of money over the years, so a ridiculous auction of me negotiating, refusing, and re-negotiating several bids eventually saw me get bids of £100M cash.
By that stage I didn't know when to stop, so I even negotiated more sell-on clauses on top. Only for all the 7/8 clubs interested to pull out of the bidding completely. I'd no idea why.
A week later I got a message saying his contract had become unprotected, and Valencia poached him for £6M.
