This is a serious question, for serious people. First, get sweaty...
Now: how many quarters can you stick to your forehead?

Laundry is taking forever to dry and I am that bored.

hey make sure all the dryer doors are shut on the wall with your dryers...I read somewhere that will make your clothes dry faster. Whatever you do don't stare at the dryer with your clothes in it....they will never get dry if you do that.

With a dry head and enough beer....

four. History teaches us that it is four.

Quarters of what?

Raw chicken, usually. But I didn't have any lying around tonight, so I went with those little metal discs.

Sadly it's the single (ancient, basement-dwelling) dryer in the apartment building. Only took two cycles this time, after all. I will try the door-shutting trick the next time I drive to the laundromat in frustration.

Raw chicken works especially well if you leave it out on the counter for two day then use paper towels to dry it well before application.

I'm still busy getting sweaty.

Yes, this is a little private. Do you mind?

And then jump up and down with your eyes closed to see how long it takes for the quarter to fall off!

Also known as "embarrass the freshmen on the soccer team."

Wait, do I stick the heads side or the tails? I can get the first one on, but then the next one just slides right off. Am I to apply sweat between the layers? Wait, chicken?

I can do this without sweat. For years, I've had a bit I do about having a magnetic forehead. Works best with a drunken audience. Coins, bottle caps, refrigerator magnet, but, oh, not pennies, of course, since they're non-ferrous.
