This is supposed to be the new craze in the mani/pedi world. A northern Virginia spa has been offering these fish pedicures for the past couple months. Apparently there are 1,000 flesh eating fish (garra rufa) in a tank that eat away your nasty corns. $35 will get you 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. After your 15 or 30 minutes you’ll also get the standard (snoooze!) pedicure. The only downside is if you’re sharing a tank with someone who has a “surplus” of dead skin, the fish would flock to that individual’s feet (gross!!!!). This service is available at Yvonne Hair and Nail Salon in Virginia (no joke…I also have an aunt by the name of Yvonne who also owns a hair and nail salon that I’m pretty sure is also called Yvonne Hair and Nail Salon…not to mention that she is from Virginia…no really I’m not joking.)
..uhh I think this person needs hankthebanks recommendation of the Ped Egg for that “surplus”.
Is your aunt’s hair and nail salon located in …. NNNNOOOOORRRRRWWWWWAAAAALLLLLKKKKK!!!!!
Only Tinmaker and other listeners of the Petros and Money show will get that.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Scientists have discovered that pedi-fish used on Tinmaker have a dangerously higher obesity rating than those used on normal human feet. The study followed a study sample of 200 pedi-fish over the course of several treatments and found that even minor exposure to Tinmaker feet of as little as 30 seconds can result in a binge-eating effect that could lead to instant pedi-fish diabetes, or pedifishabetes.

Meanie? I’m just reporting the news! And “truck….(name is too long) for this blog” didn’t write this post. The ironic thing is, your name is actually longer than truckwithoutthekey.
Furthermore! Voting has not started, so save your votes until the end!

I feel like the fish will one day mutate into some man eating species as a result of this
