My MIL kept calling my spouse and demanding that I give back her precious garden ornament. My wife explained that i can't give it back right now because i have the flu. This did not pacify my MIL, who came to our door at 6am and asked if my wife could simply give her the ornament. So I licked every square inch of the ornament, let it dry a bit and handed it to my wife to give to my MIL. Looks like i win this one!
