I Sat on a Mouse Trap
Nov 11, 2022 16:26:36 #
I was with about a dozen people at a friend's hour for a ukulele jam. I walked over to a black chair and sat down. It felt like I was sitting on something, and I was. It was one of those very, very stick black mouse traps. The woman cleaned the house before we arrived, and she picked that trap off the floor and put it on the chair, forgetting to move it later. That's what you get for cleaning the house. It was impossible to remove it, so our host gave me a towel to sit on. We all did a lot of laughing about that. When I got home, Goo Gone removed the adhesive, and the dungarees are fine. If they had been good pants, it would have been another story.
Someone suggested that we play, "Stuck on You."

Dungarees? Really?
What century do you live in?

Yes! And I never say "jeans." They were dungarees when I was a kid, and they're still dungarees. "Jeans" just doesn't sound right.

A friend had a cracked plastic knob on his tractor, so he used Super Glue to fix it and put the tube in his front pocket, and drove the tractor most of the day doing what needed to be done. When he went to get off the tractor he noticed that the tube of glue had leaked and it glued his blue jeans to his leg and scrotum.

Wonder what the etymology of the word “dungaree” is? Jerry?
The first 4 letters may be a clue.

No problem. Hydrochloric acid will take care of that.
The last time I used super glue, the tube glued itself to the table I was using. They have a very good super glue dissolver available.

Nail polish remover or acetone will dissolve super glue.
