//a student in the front of the room is using nail polish remover Hinkle: I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to put that away. You see, that has a little thing called acetone in it.

I would be all woozy and I couldn't walk straight after I got off from work. Later, OSHA came along and said 'no no no, you need a respirator and ventilation and fifteen minute exposure limits', but we didn't do things that way when I was a kid.
