Yes, sometimes my husband comes up for a kiss when I'm sewing and then backs off because I'm "booby trapped".
I've been trying to break myself of the habit of putting pins in my mouth even that way, though, because I realized that they drop on the floor and I pick them up and put them in the pincushion, then later they're in my mouth...and who knows what's on that floor? I'm probably building up immunity to all kinds of things, though. ;-)
But seriously, thanks to the OP for telling this story. It's something I had never even considered happening.
