Many moons ago, a friend of mine was hanging out in the shop while I was installing his stereo system. I used to have a bad habit of putting a handfull of 18ga butt-end splice connectors in my mouth while I worked. It was always the most convenient place to keep them, your hands are free to work, and when you need one, you sort of become a life size PEZ dispenser.
When he noticed that I was holding the parts in my mouth, he asked if there was a reason for this. I told him that the saliva helped to make a better electrical connection. He shrugged his shoulders and accepted my explaination. I almost lost it, but managed to keep my composure and never even cracked a smile.

About a year later, while I was installing a system for his younger brother, my friend was showing off his knowledge of stereo equipment and installations, he pointed out that I was keeping the connectors in my mouth and asked his kid brother if he knew why I was doing that. His brother told him that it was probably to keep the parts close and and my hands free. While I sat there trying to keep from choking on a mouthfull of red butt connectors, my friend says, with his best "wise older brother" voice, "no, the saliva helps to make a better electrical connection","that's why he keeps them in his mouth."

As I begin to laugh hysterically, choking on the mouthfull of saliva enhanced butt connectors, my friend realizes that I had been less than truthful about the reasons for my choice of storage places. He turned as red as the butt connectors but he forgave me for stringing him along and eventually laughed at the whole ordeal. To this day whenever I reach for a handfull of red butt connectors, I get a smile on my face, and a lump in my throat.
