Dang, Cathy! It's gonna be hard to top your rooster dilemma!
Anyone who's worked in a HOT, sweaty kitchen during the dawg-daze of summer... (especially if your are a big person w/ thunder-thighs) will identify w/ this story! (And I SWEAR this wasn't ME... rather a co-worker as chunky as me!)
For those thin & fit folks w/ no clue, fat folks have an unpleasant summer dilemma sometimes. One's hips often rub together when they get all over-heated and their inner-thighs can rub and become sorely chapped. Sometimes this can get severe and become quite a painful problem. But there is one wonderful remedy. Cornstarch! If you dust a little cornstarch down below- as you would talcum powder, that brings a bit of cool relief- and it also absorbs excess moisture and slows down the rubbing together and soothes the painful chaffing.
Well, our co-worker, Mario, was a big ole mean dude, and by July he was always walking bow-legged in the kitchen. Several times he would disappear from the busy line in the restaurant kitchen to go to the restroom to dust himself. (He always kept a bowl of cornstarch under the vanity in the men's room.)
One day Chuck had played a cruel joke- when Mario took off, hippity-hoppin' to the john, we all sneaked and followed to get-in on the joke! Mario was in the restroom a couple minutes. We then barged in just as he had taken his forst 3-4 steps after dusting himself "down there".
He stood perfectly still, feet locked into place, seemingly frozen in cement! In fact- he WAS! Chuck had replaced Mario's conrstarch w/ powdered sugar, and when Mario grabbed a handfull to dust himself, it scattered into his shorts, mixed w/ the moisture there and liquified- turn into sticky frosting, adhering his thighs together in a sticky, syrupy mess!
Boy... was Mario mad as a hornet's nest lit a-fire! Hee-Hee!
