Christie:
So, Mi-chelle! What are you up to?
Michele:
Oh, okay. Um, I invented Post-Its.
Christie:
No offense, Michele, but how in the world did *you* think of Post-Its?
Michele:
Uh…
[looks across the room at Romy talking to Billy Christianson]
Romy:
And I thought of them completely by myself. I mean, all Michele did was say: ”What about making them yellow?”
Michele:
[turns to the A Group]
Actually I invented a special kind of glue.
Christie:
Oh really? Well then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind giving us a detailed account of exactly how you concocted this miracle glue, would you?
Michele:
No. Um, well, ordinarily when you make glue first you need to thermoset your resin and then after it cools you have to mix in an epoxide, which is really just a fancy-schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive, right? And then I thought maybe, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex glucose derivative during the emulsification process and it turns out I was right.
