Why "Chapstick" Is Private Stuff.......

So, I'm sitting in the surgical waiting room at Barnes/Jewish hospital the other day, and there's quite a few people sitting around, waiting for their family members, friends, loved ones, to come out of surgery, and praying all is well.

And my attention happens to fall on an elderly woman sitting at a table with, what I assume, are other members of her family. At the moment I notice her, she is applying lip balm to her lips, from one of those little tubes with the cap, and the knob at the bottom that you turn to make more balm expose itself.....she gets done and does that funny little lip squoosh women do in order to spread stuff around all even.....

Then, nonchalantly sticks the tube of lip balm in each nostril, carefully replaces the cap, and puts the product safely away in her purse for the next time she needs to apply lip balm to her lips.
