Super Glue

In spite of (or subconsciously perhaps because of) the explicit and terrifying warnings on the outside of a tube of Super Glue, and in spite of the fact that I am independently aware that Super Glue was originally designed and used for gluing skin together, for some reason whenever I actually use Super Glue I managed to glue my fingers together. Admittedly, often I am gluing something which requires me to hold the two pieces together until the glue has at least begun to set, so it's not entirely surprising that it happens, but the fact that I consistently forget to check whether my fingers are becoming a part of the item that I am trying to fix is a cause of some consternation to me. Fortunately, I now have proper fingerprints again after last week's attempt to fix the stupid freezer drawers left me with suspiciously smooth patches on several of my fingertips...
