Today's quiz is especially for crafters ...

When re-assembling the tiny model Christmas Tree prior to the festive season you discover that the star on the top has been snapped off during its storage. You decide to superglue the wood back into place - it's only a small bit - and fetch the superglue.

Upon squeezing the superglue tube, nothing comes out. Do you:

A. Sensibly stop and investigate what's going on, superglue is nothing to mess around with.

B. Give up the project altogether, you obviously aren't meant to have a star on the tree.

C. Stupidly squeeze the tube harder until the tiny plug of dried superglue that was at the tip shoots out and there is a terrifying geyser of superglue all over the tree, the star, your fingers, and the lap desk.




I'll be over here in the corner continuing to pick superglue off my now-somewhat-raw fingers.

:)

PS
Luckily, laughing at myself is a life skill I have long mastered. I am more amused than anything... and it's a good excuse to get a new tree.

as others have noted, acetone is a LOVELY dissolver of many things, being as it dissolves both polar and non-polar things relatively readily

and it is ever so easily acquired in the form of nail polish remover

(can you tell i'm taking organic chemistry currently? if not: i'm taking organic chemistry, currently. :P)

as for your survey... I'd likely be A, and would end up going at the bottle of superglue with a needle, but i AM the person who managed to splatter white acrylic paint over her pants today because she squeezed when the bottle seemed slightly stop up so I can't exactly judge THAT hard <3
