Would you like call a friend or are you sticking with that?

You're stuck around the corner and you're not willing to spend the $0.10 to call from the phonebooth? Oh wait it may now be $0.50.

Actually, "too close to call" would indicate no access to a nearby phone, and a close enough proximity where the closest phone is a greater distance than the distance separating the two of you.

One's "thriftiness" doesn't come into play here.

Just sayin'

"Sticky" is only a small part of it!

My thinking cap is stuck to my head and I can't get certain things out of it.

If your thinking cap is stuck to your head, and thoughts are stuck to your thinking cap, do you forget how to think if you manage to get your thinking cap off?

I'm thinking the op was prophetic.

Time to call it a day. My thanks to all...

Sticky thread game...

If anyone doesn't know how to play sticky threads, just ask Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky... I hear they reached Grandmaster status some years back.

It's easy to get stuck in something, not so easy to get stuck into something.
