Hot Hide Glue & "Jell-O"
By Bryan Cather

Wallace Venable asked if anyone had ever used "Jell-O" or gelatin
as glue.  I haven't, but his question reminded me of my days working
in a donut shop in high school.  We had a small sign on the wall --
"Please ring bell for service" -- that thwarted all attempts to make
it stay stuck to the wall.

I finally succeeded in making it stay in place by using the fruit jelly
filling we used in our jelly-filled donuts.  It worked wonderfully.
I know it's not terribly relevant, but I hope its at least amusing.
