new uses for a turkey baster

I have been trying to leave for work earlier than normal this week since traffic is at an all time high of sucky-ness. I took an extra five minutes, laying in bed this morning, to worry about all the crap I have to get in next two days before moving. Of course then the dog had to be let out....which i loathe because i always end of standing outside in my bathrobe trying to see a black dog in darkness. While she was out doing her thing i thought I would throw my pants in the dryer to get most of the lint off of them (very good trick FYI). I stepped into the laundry room and one of my feet slid away from my body and I grabbed unto the dryer in fear of falling. My hand went into a pool of liquid. I flipped on the light and found that the Tide bottle had fallen from the shelf and spilled EVERYWHERE. Of course it had to be the super size bottle of Tide. I was at a loss of what to do because:
1. I had to go to the bathroom
2. the dog was still outside
3. i was already running late
4. not sure i should run the dryer when the top has a lake of Tide on it.
I took care of my business, let the dog in, and riffled through the kitchen for some device to try and clean it up in a hurry. I first grabbed a pampered chef spatula but that was a no go. My next choice was a turkey baster. Worked like a charm. So i stood there for a good ten minutes squeezing up Tide. I finally got down to a point where it was just a small layer and had to take two towels to it for it to come off. I tackled the floor and stepped on piles of Tide filled clothes that were laying in front of the dryer. I had to give up for the sake of not being able to beam myself to work. I hopped in the shower and almost had a close call with death again from falling. That stuff sticks to skin like no other. I'm pretty sure my hair was washed with Tide and I am going to have a permanent layer on the bottoms of my feet. I cant wait to get home and tackle the rest of it.
Lesson learned...make sure the cap is securely on before shelfing!
