Stuck to bench top

[Carl W. Meyer]

Dear Hotbutt:  Will you please put your pants back on before you sit on
those sticky benches.

> I got stuck on a bench top today. Before I tell you the memory it brought
backto me, I want to ask,:
> What causes the heat from one's butt to stick to some bench top finishes?
> Is there anything that can be sprayed over the finish?
> Should a bench be sitting with the hinge toward or away from the piano?

> Many moons ago when I was much slimmer and more casual, and unaware to
me, I was becoming adhered to the bench. As you know, many benches are just
chock-full of music, books and bibles. This one had its hinges toward the
piano. As I stood up quickly to shift myself, the bench lid raised to my
level. The suddenness of my upright stance shifted the bench contents to
the other side and the momentum from the shifted load felled the bench to
the floor, leaving my butt and flanges exposed to the world.  I've belted
up ever since.
