It was 4 AM and I was wandering around my house, cleaning up, getting things in order, petting my cat, taking breaks to play bass. All good things
.
I realized I hadn't collected the mail from yesterday. I walk outside. The air is humid and the ground is heavy with dew. I feel like I'm in a jungle. As a result, there's a lot of bugs and wildlife around. I look down and see a stick. For no apparent reason, I decide to pick it up. As my fingers grasp the stick, I feel it squirm. My hand slips off the "stick." I realize it's actually a slug and it's coated the tips of my right hand in mucus.
I go in to wash it off because I can't handle mail like that, it's indecent
. I scrub and scrub my hand with water, water and soap, it's not coming off. NONE of it is coming off. I dry my hands and try to get it off with a paper towel. Nothing. It was as if the slippery stuff was affixed to my hands.
And then I got an idea to try playing bass with it
It was AMAZING. It was almost like having callouses suddenly appear on my hands. My fingers slid effortlessly over the strings. I could barely feel myself plucking, and the mucus didn't come off on the strings.
I actually ended up getting the stuff off with a chisel.
So uh... you know, slug mucus. It's the stuff.
