[Woodcarver] Any Stupid Antics?

[Greg Wilkerson]

Lori,

You almost made me spew my coffee with that one! Thanks for the chuckle.

It reminded me of a time when I worked at Englers Woodcarvers here in
Branson. One of the demonstrating woodcarvers was trying to super glue a
piece of wood to a relief carving he was doing, using his hand for a clamp. 

Needless to say he soon came up to me with a large board attached to his
hand asking me to "quietly" see if there was any super glue remover in the
store. So I quietly turned around and "shouted" across the floor asking if
anyone had any super glue remover on them..much to his horror. 

Five or six of us spent the next several minutes standing around him
discussing the surgical procedure he was going to have to endure before
someone finally came up with some stuff to unglue him. We ribbed him
relentlessly the rest of the day.

OK, I know I'm not the only one who can turn the simple into monumentally
stupid. How 'bout sharing your stories about "Your Ride on the
Stupid-Train"? I'll start off...this happened last night...

Let this be a lesson, kiddies...
You know those long flex-tips that you put on the end of your super glue
bottle so you can get into tight places? Mine had a blockage, so I figured
that rather than replace the tip (they come in packages of 25, and I
had...oh, say..24 left), I figured I could just blow out the blockage. Tip
removed (there's still time to toss it and put on a new one, but...not me),
I put it up to my mouth (what...you thought I'd do something reasonable,
like use compressed air, or something!?), remembering ONLY at the moment it
touches my lips that moisture ACCELERATES the setting of super glue. So,
there I am...tongue glued to the inside of my lips, lips glued together
where they weren't glued to the flex tip, and the flex-tip dangling off my
lip like some kinda octopus arm, hoping like H*** that I can sneak past my
husband to the bathroom. No such luck...

Second in stupidity only to attaching my legs together above the knee (DON'T
hold a clogged tube upside-down a give it a good squeeze while wearing
shorts).
