Super Glue....
Hi all
I use super glue a lot with the pen making, and was searching my old files for a vendor source when I ran across this story... it still cracks me up.... especially if you visualize it!
Wanted to share.... 
A Vermont native, Ronald Demuth, found himself in a difficult position.
While touring the Eagle's Rock African Safari (Zoo) with a group of
thespians from St. Petersburg, Russia, Mr. Demuth went overboard to
show them one of America's many marvels. He demonstrated the
effectiveness of "Super Glue"... the hard way.
Apparently, Mr. Demuth wanted to demonstrate just how good the adhesive
was, so he put about 3 ounces of the adhesive in the palms of his hands,
and jokingly placed them on the buttocks of a passing rhino. The rhino,
a resident of the zoo for the past thirteen years, was not initially
startled as it has been part of the petting exhibit since its arrival as
a baby. However, once it became aware of its being involuntarily stuck
to Mr. Demuth, it began to panic and ran around the petting area wildly
making Mr. Demuth an unintended passenger.
"Sally [the rhino] hasn't been feeling well lately. She had been very
constipated. We had just given her a laxative and some depressants to
relax her bowels, when Mr. Demuth played his juvenile prank," said James
Douglass, caretaker.
During Sally's tirade two fences were destroyed, a shed wall was gored,
and a number of small animals escaped. As for Demuth, it took
a team of medics and zoo caretakers over four hours to remove his hands
from the rhino's buttocks. First, the animal had to be captured and
calmed down. However, during this process the laxatives began to take
hold and Mr. Demuth was repeatedly showered with over 30 gallons of
rhino diarrhea.
"It was tricky. We had to calm her down, while at the same time shield
our faces from being pelted with rhino dung. Once she was under
control, we had three people with shovels working to keep an air passage open for
Mr. Demuth. We were able to tranquilize her and apply a solvent to
remove his hands from her rear," said Douglass. "I don't think he'll be
playing with Super Glue for a while."

What a visual!
I'm the oldest of four sisters. Sister #3 was getting ready for a prom when she noticed the insole of her shoe was flopping. Sister #2 grabbed the super glue and applied it to the insole, getting her finger stuck in the shoe. Sister #3 said she was wearing THOSE shoes even if she had to drag sister #2 on the ground behind her. Luckily with the help of fingernail polish remover sister #2 was free!

What a visual! I'm one of four sisters. Sister #3 was getting ready to go to a prom when she noticed the insole of her shoe was loose. Sister #2 grabbed the super glue and applied it, getting her finger stuck to the inside of the shoe. Sister #3 said she was wearing THOSE shoes to the prom even if she had to drag Sister #2 on the ground behind her. After several applications of fingernail polish remover, Sister #2 was free.
