here’s an expert tip for conference goers:
putting the butter packet in the condom pocket of your jeans
is a great way to make it spreadable.

so long as you don’t forget it’s there.
then you’ll have a melted butter mess
and permanent stain on your jeans.

i’ll let you imagine which scenario happened to me this morning.

(and yes, i’m wearing jeans at a conference. i figure if a dude on my panel can wear jeans and a ribbed sweater from the early 2000’s while giving his paper, i can wear jeans when i’m not giving a paper)
