Monty by Jim Meddick for March 16, 2025

Sometimes you’re so busy wondering if you can that you don’t stop to ask if you SHOULD.

Some cereal box tops are like that.

The glue for post-it notes was supposed to be a super glue, but it flopped.

Why did he buy originally? I doubt he has gorillas nor can I think of any reason for putting a post-it note on one.

That’s funny!

look before you dive

Thanks for the tip, Monty.

I’ve heard of Gorilla Glue and Post-It-Notes, but have they really cross breeded them?By the way, before I retired a couple years ago, I had a supervisor who called Post-It-Notes, FLYN’s. It was an acronym for F@#%’n Little Yellow Notes.

I found the Gorilla Wood Glue to be average, but, the duct-tape gets 4 stars. Pricey, but strong.

Well, I’ll be a MONKEYS uncle !

Has anyone else experienced failure of Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, et al, to actually hold what you’re gluing together? Back when Super Glue first came out, it really did create a nearly unbreakable bond. Not anymore, at least not when I’ve used. It will still stick your fingers together, though.

Are makers of Post-it notes on affixed income?

When they say “Super Sticky” they mean it. It’s gonna be on that surface forever! :)

Did you know Gorilla used to make a glue to hold on to guitar finger picks? I got some because I have arthritis in my hands and that makes it difficult to hold on to a pick. How can I put this nicely? It was crap. It transfers itself from the pick to the strings with relative ease. Then you have to replace the strings. Which is hard to do, as the pick sticks to your fingers. I guess that is why they don’t make it anymore.

What I used to hate, and I don’t know if they still have them, were those bill/coin envelopes that the banks used at the drive-in windows when they cashed a check and gave you your money in bills and change. You never could seem to get all of the change out of the change pocket down inside the envelope. You shook and tugged until the envelope finally tore and change went everywhere.

The weird thing is that Monty has an empty desk drawer in his desk.

Woops!

where can I get these? take my money
