Mysterious shoulder supports

Rob Oldfield said:

Got home from work today to be told by SWMBO that she'd been tidying up all
my cycling clothes (only recently moved in so hadn't happened before).
Apparently had found a couple of hats and two shoulder supports. "Shoulder
supports?" I say, "What shoulder supports?"

So off she goes to find them and comes back with my overshoes.

Is it possible to keep a straight face in that situation? (I failed
dismally to do so.)
Has anyone tried using them after a dislocation?

Or, not cycling related, My other half cooing about this german fish
curry recepie she is going to impress me with... When I tried it, I
wondered why it was so pale and so fecking hot(chilli), few questions
later, she realized she had used chilli powder instead of curry powder!
