In your own words how do you think the meeting went between the person who first discovered glue and his business partners? I imagine that they were pretty shocked to find he was melting down the hooves of a cow for any reason at all.

I literally cannot stop laughing. But also- good point. 

I have a feeling that the whole melting down animal parts was more common back then, seeing as nothing was really wasted. This is full on speculation though because I can’t imagine how that went… like where they making a stew with the off bits of  cow and then left it on the fire too long and the hooves got super sticky??? 

Business Partner One (or BP1): “You’re going to have to run this by me again.” 
BP2: “A minimum of ten times more, for me.” 
Glue Entrepreneur: *vastly exasperated* “My god, you’re thick as glue. Okay. Okay, so you take the hooves…”
BP1: “Mhm.” 
BP2: “Go on.” 
GE: “And you melt them-”
BP1: “Ugh, I can just imagine the smell.” 
BP2: “I thought that was GE’s body odour.” 
GE: “What?! What??!?” 
BP1: “Oh, maybe. Anyway, go on. Melting hooves.” 
GE: *disheveled and wild eyed* “You melt the damned things and then it turns into glue-”
BP1: “I’m going to interrupt you again.”
BP2: “Yeah, what the hell is glue?” 
GE: “Oh for fuck’s sake.” *slaps the recipe for glue on both their foreheads covered in said glue and walks away*
BP1: “I…I can’t get it- I can’t get it off…” 
BP2: “Jesus… It’s… it’s stuck to my face. HE NAILED IT TO MY FACE.” 
GE: *from the distance* “I GLUED IT YOU IMBECILE.”
