For some stupid reason, my right palm is sweating when I use my mouse. Very irritatin’. So I go into my golf bag and pull out the right glove that I’d bought mistakenly. Works nice, but I think I’ll cut the fingers off, especially if I intend on typing any…

Anyone else get this? I don’t get it often, but it happens…

If you cut your fingers off, how will you type?

Nair works well on the palm too. Not that I would know or anything, just sayin’…

The sweaty palms is from nervousness. Being in the presence of so many great minds can do that to lesser mortals. Don’t worry, you’ll get over it.
