REASON # 1,216 Why Work is the Cause of my Insanity

The Mouth comes over to me and says, " I was wondering how you would take tarnish off of a piece of silver if someone has puked on it?" With great decorum, pre-verbal beating, I look up from my monitor and say excuse me? She repeats herself, but a little differently perhaps so it will make more sense. Even before I can answer she says, "I know it's Monday and you're about to go home. I should save this for tomorrow." You know this way I can marinate on it and possibly do some research for her. I say how would I know about that? And why wouldn't you just use regular tarnish remover? This baffled her and she tried to justify something about stomach acid and the properties of silver. She didn't use those words, but she tried to. It was really cute.
