Isn't that only supposed to happen if one gets it on one's male parts or inside an orifice?
The old bengay/icy hot in the jockstrap thing isn't because you get it on your thighs, after all.

BOOLEAN! RESULTS!
Hmm, it seems old chum, that this IcyBalm, is none other than a topical rubefacient heat rub!
Holy Heat Handcream, Batman, sounds like a plot to relieve joint and muscle pain!

....I'm not entirely sure that Amber knows about the IcyHot. All she thought was that Gary and Dillon were getting jiggy, Dillon 'got it all over Gary' (who she thinks might be bi-curious but isn't very confident about it) and Gary suddenly streaked past her desperate for a shower.
Is there a deliberate innuendo happening, or am I just filthy minded?
Anyone else notice that that door opens the other way, making Amber's attempts to block it pretty ineffective?

It's a brand name for a balm consisting of (probably) menthol and camphor in a binding agent. Menthol provides the cooling "icy" effect, and camphor provides the heating "hot" effect. So, Icy Hot. Too much of it can burn like the blazes regardless of body location, and is also extremely dependent upon an individual's tolerance to the active ingredients.
Personally I find Icy Hot to be more hype than effective. Then again I've had exposure to probably more kinds of liniments, balms, lotions, and oils for treating muscle aches than your average person. Apparently Gary is rather sensitive to the stuff. Also he's kind of screwed because the binder in Icy Hot doesn't just wash off with water.
And given that it's her door, she should have a key for it anyway and not have to stack stuff in front of it.
Do your doors require a key in order to lock them from the inside? American and Canadian doors for apartments/dorm rooms/houses from what I've learned generally follow the same pattern that they can be locked from the inside by operating the lock with what I can only call a lever or knob because I do not recall the proper term.

Like this usually:
I have heard european locks are sometimes a key for both sides. Might depend which parts of europe, but yeah, Canadian usually have these types of locks.
Not on rooms inside the house. I mean, I'm reasonably sure the, say, office could be locked, as it has a key, but I'm not sure I even still have that anymore.

Most in house lockable doors, like bathrooms, I have encountered use very simple push looks.

Yeah, those simple push locks we rarely even have keys for, because they're basically vanity/privacy locks to let people know not to enter the room but can be broken through by a healthy human in case of, say, an emergency.

It's a bit different between houses, but in Sweden, bathrooms usually have the kind of lock you're talking about here, with a "switch" on the inside, while doors to normal rooms have indoor key locks, much weaker than a front door lock but still sufficiently sturdy so that you'd have to do damage to the frame to break it open. That might be an old paradigm that's on it's way out, however.

Spot on. And really hot water will do the trick, but it will speed up the reaction first. yeesh. his best bet is to wipe it off with a towel first.
And yes, if she starts rubbing on him from behind, depending on where she gets it, it could be VERY uncomfortable for her. I won't relate the story, but I discovered this with a girlfriend by accident.

You can even 'pick' them by simply sticking an Allen key, or other thin, rigid object of small enough diameter, into a hole in the outer knob.

Yep, Though I prefer the simple method, turn the handle. Those locks suck. You can literally force the handle to turn and open the door manually.

Simple, yes, but not always doable by the wimpy members of the audience.
I also open sealed jars by knocking the lid's edge against a hard surface while rotating the jar.
Also, off topic, but I can only see the tip of the club of the Ettin you use as an avatar. Is this intentional? It certainly seems like a waste of bandwidth.

In older American houses, it is uncommon for interior doors (except for the bathroom) to have locks. I suppose there was a concern about children locking themselves in rooms or losing keys or something like that.
On an unrelated note, I think the device in the picture above looks like a deadbolt instead of a lock.

Its not intentional, its just, after the third or fourth ettin picture I tried to use all turned out similar to this I stopped caring. I just cant find one the right size.

It's the same down here in the Netherlands.

You could just crop the picture so its standardly just the club. Saves bandwidth and you show off that you're blunt.

Hu, I always assumed that club was supposed to be the picture... well, whatever.
In Germany I guess it varies a lot depending on age... there's a huge amount of doors with just simple key locks in all inner doors, including bathrooms. Nowadays bathrooms usually have that "lock from the inside" thing pictured earlier. And the normal doors I think lack a lock most of the time... /Well, the keys to the old locks usually go missing anyway)
Why are we talking about door locks again?

Here you go.
Spoiler
I'm gonna take them down in a few days, so save them if you wanna use them.
