I was playing with it and it kind of flicked up… it’s annoying.

Flicked up into your eye? That’s odd, odd and hilarious.

Put peanut butter on it. Honest. Then it’ll come out with a minimum of muss and fuss.

Unless you LIKE it there, in which case all bets are off.

no… peanut butter is for getting it out of carpet… to get it out of your eyelashes, climb inside a freezer for an hour, then hit it with a hammer… it will shatter…😛

I can beat that. I had pottery class yesterday, went straight from class to buy some food at the grocery store, and didn’t realise until I got home that I’d been walking around with a HUGE glob of clay stuck in my hair. Although I guess that’s somewhat easier to clean up than gum… still, mine wins for sheer humiliation factor. Yours wins for discomfort. 😉
