Calf Shaver

Today I shaved my calf. I knew I was going to be cutting and laying vinyl flooring, so I wore my work shorts and t-shirt. By the time I was done I had some flooring adhesive that just wouldn't come off my hands. We'll get how that is tied to shaving my calf after I give you some background.

I measured and cut the vinyl. I then thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned the bottom of the vinyl and the hall and bathroom floors where its new home would soon be. I made sure that while cutting the separate pieces that the patterns would line up where the bathroom met the hallway. I perfectly made the cutouts for the commode water supply line and the bathroom vanity. I spread the adhesive, put down the flooring and broke out the 100 lb vinyl flooring roller that I rented from Home Depot. (No, I don't get money for that.)

When the time came for the vinyl in the hallway, I had to remove the storm door and the main hallway entry door in order to spread the vinyl that went under the door sash. I can undestand why some people don't do home repairs - it takes some guts and sometimes some special tools. However, you will almost always save money by buying commonly used tools and renting specialty tools and doing it yourself than paying someone else. Eventually, you'll have accumulated enough basic tools to handle almost any home repair or remodeling project - I know I have!

After the party was over, meaning that the floors had been rolled, the doors reinstalled, and the tools cleaned - I headed home. As I was cleaning up, in the shower, I noticed that soap was not completely removing the adhesive from my hands. As I was washing my calves I noticed that there were little adhesive cling-ons on my calf hair. The more I rubbed my calf to get them off the more of them appeared. I noticed that as my calf hair was developing more of these sticky cling-ons my hands were getting progressively cleaner. Soon I was purposely rubbing the parts of my hand that had the aforeto unremovable adhesive on my calf. It was pure genius! The adhesive was sticking to the hair on my calf and my hands were now completely clean!

With my newly clean hands I tried rubbing, scratching and scraping off the adhesive from my calf hair. It was futile. It was inevitable - I picked up the razor. I shaved my calf. Now both my hands and calf are clean. Hmmm, what kind of calf hair product can I market at Home Depot to clean adhesive covered hands?
