I'd just finished dusting opening up the cabins for this weekends guests (turning on hot water tanks, sweeping the porches.... All was done and set to go. So I start walking down the path to the house (short path maybe 100' long.) As I just start walking a gust of wind kicked up and I could hear the acorns falling from the oak tree I was under...so I put my hand over my head. As I proceed out from under the oak tree I walk under a basswood tree....which has small round seeds a little bigger than a pea. and they are falling, so I keep my hand over my head. As I walk under the last tree a large white pine nothing seems to be falling so move my hand and just then something hits the top of my head.
It felt solid (like a thunk) and felt like it was still in my hair....so I reach for it and feel a LARGE drop of something gooey.....Fresh pine sap!!!. So I now have sticky sap on one hand and in my hair. I go to wash my hands with soap...I think it actually made the sap stickier.... so I turn to the computer to search for a remedy...this goes slower than normal because I have to type with one hand for fear of completely sticking to the keyboard and mouse with the other hand. First site says to put peanut butter in your hair for five minutes.... I think to myself that the instant I put peanut butter in my hair, all three couples are going to be at the door wanting to check in and their going to see me looking like Alfalfa (Little Rascals) smelling like peanut butter. So I go to the next site....which recommends WD-40... I knew immediately that it was the answer since I use the stuff all the time for lots of oddball stuff. One shot of WD-40 on the hand and a wipe with a paper towel and the pitch was gone. One squirt in the hair and a wipe with the paper towel and it was out of my hair too.
Now if only it would have magically converted my grey hair back to black.
