Work Story

A colleague (who will remain nameless) was on her way to work today, but was rushing because she was running a little late. While driving, she reached into her purse to put on some chapstick (I think she had not had time for make-up). When applying the chapstick, she noticed it tasted really bad. So she looked at it...sure enough, it wasn't a tube of chapstick. Rather, it was a tube of anti-itch stuff for spider bites. Apparently, in short order, her lips went numb.

How much fun would it be to try to teach with numb lips? I can just imagine someone drooling while trying to stand up in front of a bunch of high schoolers. Just a random thought...
