Fun Facts for Absolutely No Reason ~ by Andi Lawrencovna

Fact No. 1: in the event that your pen decides to explode,

disgorging the contents of its inkwell onto your hands, DON’T PANIC! While washing your hands is a good start, surprisingly, nail polish remover or alcohol swabs will also do the trick of getting the ink off your skin too. (Alcohol swabs are particularly good at removing ink stains from fake plastic looking wooden desks as well!)

Fact No. 2: in the event that you use nail polish remover to remove ink from your skin, do not put the implement with the wet liquid remover soaked/soaking through it onto a painted surface. If wood, the paint on the wooden surface might begin to molt a bit and there is definitely a good chance that you will ruin the paint job and strip the color from it.

Fact No. 3: in the event that the nail polish remover begins to erode

the paint job on a “wooden” surface, do not keep an open water bottle/glass on said surface where it might be easily tipped over. And if you DO tip over said glass, make sure to clean up the spill quickly before it seeps into/under the wood and causes the wood to expand or form a bump.

And finally…

Fact No. 4: in the event that your wooden desk/nightstand/whatever should warp from water absorption caused by alcohol seepage predicated by an ink spill, don’t pick at the now deformed surface, because it’s just not going to go well. And don’t try to hide it, because that bubble that has formed is not going away anywhere, and do not try to sell it, because no one wants to buy a ruined warped nightstand with chipped paint unless they’re in the refinishing business, and then they’re only gonna offer a very slim

amount to take that piece off your hands, namely an amount that won’t even cover the cost of a new replacement for yourself. 

This has been a segment of fun facts for absolutely no reason. I hope you have enjoyed, and I hope that you will keep these little tidbits in mind for your future adventures!
