A funny student story about glue
Folks -
Okay, a short one.... Got a gal in one of the Friday classes, has had WS before and has the basics... Anyway, she is building a segmented round mirror frame. I told her we would assemble it with hide glue.... She wanted to know what THAT was, and I told her that it was the only glue available for WW until modern adheisives came along.... She wanted to know why it was called hide glue, and I told her... She wrinkled her nose and had a small hissy about "those poor rabbits" and that it was WRONG to do that. I countered, by asking her if she had ever eaten a burger.... she said that "that didn't count" and that hide glue was "mean".... So, I back-tracked and told her, half in jest, that we were actually using the "vegitarian" formula, and that the original ingredients included lettuce and carrots. She took it hook, line and sinker.... So now it's "carrot glue" Sheesh.... John |
