Should you find the need to use some glue (which you shouldnt) may I be so
bold as to suggest some authentic blood glue. Just masticate some caribou
blood till it gets that yummy gluey consistency, then apply as needed.Please
do not swallow any without consulting your physician, as it may exacerbate
your, uh, condition.
