Time for a classic laugh… it’s the old “Mistake-the-glue-for-something-else” gag, in
the July 29th 2020 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa.
A tube of glue is usually mistaken for toothpaste in comedies… used to be hair cream, but nobody uses that any more.
I’ve seen white glue for frosting (making me wonder how someone could possibly mistake a bottle of Elmer’s for a bowl of icing).
Glue stick for Chapstick…
Funny thing is, it’s always still funny.
Old joke: "My wife asked me to hand her lipstick.
I accidentally gave her a glue stick.
She’s still not talking to me."
This one works better than some cos the bottles are similar…
though why Superglue was in the bathroom… who knows.
Actually… some women use nail glue to secure their fake nail “tips”… (horrible stuff)…
It’s basically Superglue except it’s supposedly a little less toxic (with the exact same ingredients, though) and sometime scented.
It comes in the same sort of bottles as regular Superglue, but in “cuter” colors and brands.
That would be scary, cos I have eye drops in a bottle that same size and shape… only reason it doesn’t look like glue is that it’s turquoise.
Then again… I don’t plan to wear fake nails.
What I do have is too many 1 or 1/2 oz tubes of stuff, like hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic ointment, athlete’s foot cream…. etc.
Target and Kaiser (my HMO) sell almost identical white plastic tubes… the writing and a simple logo in a different color for each medication, but easy to mix up.
Luckily, most mistakes in that kind of stuff won’t do much harm…. antibiotic ointment won’t glue your lips closed.
