Stay away from me when I'm using Super Glue

I got a little super glue between my index fingers. They were stuck together like Siamese twins. Note to self: Always keep the can of acetone where you can reach it and not behind 3 rows of other cans. Have you ever tried to remove the lid from a can with your hands stuck together? :smt005 :oops:

Good thing you hadn't decided to go to the bathroom at just that moment... ah, the things I've seen in an ER! :shock:
Things stuck in bottles, apples where they shouldn't be... oh the horror, the horror... :lol:

I had to remove super glue from a patient's teeth (I am a Dental Hygienist). The week prior the surgeon removed the cheek tissue form the teeth as well! That will teach that young guy not to open Superglue with his teeth again!

I think that happens more often than most will admit..Speaking of ER Storys none ever beats on from the early 80's..When Philadelphia news anchor Jerry Penacoli was in a Baltimore hospital. Those that live in the North East at the time sould remember that one..I'll leave it at that....lmao

O...M...G!.........TMI! but Googling found it here:

http://www.broadbandreports.com/shownew ... ring-72223" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"For those that don't know. Back in the early 80's a Philadelphia news anchor was caught in a Baltimore hospital with a dead gerbil in his rectum. In Wikipedia they claim it is an urban legend, however, I remember quite clearly when Philadelphia news legend Jack Jones, the first black news anchor in Philadelphia reported on KYW-3 news that Jerry Penacoli was in a Baltimore hospital after a gerbil died in his rectum from a cocaine over dose. The story is a fact.

After the incident Jerry was demoted at channel 3 and when his contract was up, it was not renewed. Soon after this incident was when all the fake Richard Gere stories started."

Eeewww!

How'd we get from the topic "fingers stuck together with super glue" to orifice gerbils? :P

I wish I would have thought of using the glue 20 yrs ago instead of stiching my own finger together with 2lb test line when I was trimming my trans tunnel for a new shifter..Well dang that metal is sharp..lol
