So I'm at work right and I'm on the phone talking to 3 people at once, and this morning I have talking straight for about 3 hours.
So my lips are getting dry so I reach for handy dandy chap stick that I keep in my drawer. Well not paying attention I grabbed a stick and proceed while still on the phone to apply the Chap Stick to my lips.
Well suddenly I say "yuck my chap stick went bad, its tastes awful and is all gooey at which point one of the folks on my conference call says what wrong? I tell them my chap sticks gone bad, and thats rare because they have a shelf life of about what oh say 3000 years.
Then I look down and there in my hand is not my chap stick, but low and behold its a tube of Office Depot glue stick.
Yup I had just applied glue to my lips How do you recover from that one.
Luckily that stuff has the consistency of yeast and water mixed, it was a simple wipe off with a moist wet wipe (which I keep on my desk for just such an emergency).
Moral of the story Pay attention if it feels like Chap Stick, looks like Chap Stick It could be a glue stick you never know.
Oh the folks on the phone went off on a discussion of the shelf life and validity of Chap Stick, both regular and the Aloe Vera version which gave enough time to recover from my little fopaux. And the world will never know.
