Speaking of "grip" I find myself in a most ridiculous situation. I have
small tubes of denture material that is no longer made. The $7 tubes,
which I thought was overpriced, is now going for over around $140 a
tube. If I sell all the tubes, I'd probably be able to buy a Telecaster
plus a dinner at Morimoto Waikiki. Now that would be funny as all shit!
