With my car up on ramps, installing a new trailer hitch from underneath,

242 onto my favorite baseball cap and into my mouth.

There were two discoveries, actually. First, Loctite washes out of your
hat with soap and water, if you get it quickly. Secondly, it's as sweet
as sugar water. In fact, it tastes a lot like Prestone Antifreeze.

anyone gets to taste gasket cement, please let us know what the flavor of
that's like, too. d8-)

With the safety nazis these days I expect if it were dangerous it would be
plastered with warnings but it did remind of watching a short program
about this place http://www.thepoisongarden.co.uk/default.htm and IIRC
Belladona, which is grown there, was mentioned as being quite dangerous
because it was sweet tasting but unfortunately for those that like the
taste quite poisonous.

Yes, the source of atropine. Some of it has gone wild around here, too. It's
one nasty plant.
