Electrolysis, Oh the Pain!

Electrolysis....
How can something hurt that much?? I swear it's second only to labour in the 'Oh dear God, make it stop!!' files.
And that's coming from an atheist.
Am I being punished for my vanity? It's such a little thing, my one tiny little bit of self indulgence in a life that's all about the kids...
I just don't want an old lady moustache!
Perhaps I could just bleach. Maybe the blazing needles of electric current aren't necessarily the best things to plunge through ones tender upper lip?
On the up side, if I get my legs waxed afterwoods it doesn't hurt in the slightest. Practically a massage.
Have I mentioned my morbid fear of massage?
