A lady ran in to the store one day waving her right arm and squealing. When I got her calmed down it turned out that she squeezed a tube of super glue without puncturing the metal seal under the cap. The bottom crimp blew out and she glued her thumb, two fingers and the glue tube into a solid mass. I had to use acetone, and the whole time she was giving me hell because her nail polish was coming off. If I had laughed one time she would have killed me.
Here is another solvent story by Dave Barry that was written in 2008:
