hilarious! that first time i used chapstick was in church, too! i would go through my mom's purse and put on her chapstick- the wonderful original black kind... oh the memories...
"How did this addiction begin? Was it because I ran with the wrong crowd, or did I just get caught up in a cool scene I read about in "Interview"? Neither. It was my mother who introduced me to the instant nirvana of lip balm.
A quick flashback to the winter of '69 in Columbus, Ohio. I'm 8 years old and seated between my parents in a Methodist church pew. The minister has worked himself in a lather as he unravels the levels of hell awaiting those who do not heed his warnings. With the same ferociousness, I have stripped away an alarming amount of dead skin from my first case of chapped lips."

"But at the age of 34, I have a ball-and-chain relationship with Chap Stick. I can't go out my front door without first tapping my left pants pocket for a Chap Stick check. Whenever caught deep in the throes of moisture-free lips, my modus operandi for applying Chap Stick is eight quick dabs, as opposed to one big swipe, every 20 minutes."

"I don't know what I would do if the Food and Drug Administration ever classified lip balm as an illegal substance."

"But Tracy was considering the issue. She is fair- minded, even though she has an unnatural fondness for waxy substances on her lips...
Perhaps she was powerless over Chapstick. Perhaps her life had become unmanageable, a long, dreary march from tube to tube."

my favorite is #8 "Are you experiencing financial difficulties due to your lip balm use?" and #20 "Do you occasionally coat heavily after a disappointment, quarrel or rough day?"
