I once Krazy Glued my hand to my old lady’s while we were trying to fix a counter top. Part of my meager existence is doing apartment maintenance. The old tenants moved out and we were refurbishing the unit.
After cleaning and repainting the place I noticed that the edge piece for the counter was lose, the proper stuff to use to secure it would be contact cement or some silicone based adhesive. I had a bunch of Krazy Glue because a local chain store was selling the stuff for 99 cents a tube. I knew it wouldn’t work but needed a scam to pull this stunt off.
I had her hold the piece in place after I put the glue on it, of course it didn’t work wrong surfaces but I sort of blamed this on her. Poor girl only tried harder squeezing the two parts together with all her strength. While she was occupied I squeezed a whole bunch of the stuff into my palm and clamped my hand over hers like I wanted to help her.
After a minute or so we let go and found out that our hands were stuck together. At first she thought it was funny then panic set in. Poor girl got paranoid made with the cry baby face and started cussing me out like crazy. She actually thought that we’d have to go to the emergency room.
We managed to part by soaking our stuck hands in hot water and gently peeling them apart. I didn’t feel much pain but my old lady winced and whined about it, probably because the skin on the back of ones hand isn’t nearly as tough as your palm.
After that she went out and bought a box of latex gloves and now every time I ask her to help me glue stuff she breaks them out. From time to time I get kidded about it but I could tell by the initial look of shock on her face it wasn’t a pleasant experience for her. Oh well it was fun but I won’t try that one again. ;D
