This just unlocked a memory of when I was in grad school and my department’s classrooms had just been outfitted with new projectors, and one of the other grad students could never figure out how to work it so she always left her lecture-in-progress to fetch me regardless of what I was doing, and this continued on when she’d gotten her PhD and was hired on as a professor in the same department. And everyone thought I was, like, tech support, and not another PhD candidate.
I don’t know why I kept going along with this. Probably my need to always feel helpful.
When I was five, in the days before screw caps, I pulled a similar stunt with a corked bottle. They never DID entirely get the ginger ale stains out of the ceiling…

I like to think MELISSA BANGLES was just watching this situation evolve, waiting to see where Nancy was going with it.

Nice of Nancy to go with a lemon-lime that won’t show the stain as much as a cola would.

If you get your seat dirty and don’t clean it, your seat will get your own seat dirty when you sit down.

Now the seat and the floor around it are all coated with a sticky soft drink. But the projector got turned on!

Did you know that you can wet a paper towel and use it to wipe up surfaces with light amounts of dirt? The more you know…
