I needed a Band Aid on Sunday and had to get one out of the Honda’s glove box. I forgot all about the first-aid kit in there. It’s made from an old Star Wars tin that I had a hard time throwing away. It sat empty in a bathroom drawer for years before it finally found it’s purpose – saving the Rebel Alliance from chapped lips, upset stomachs, and boo-boos.
Word to the wise: Don’t put a Chapstick in there for three years. It will melt in the summer and soak through the Band-Aid wrapper. (The Band-Aid was still good, though.)
Is the pocket knife for emergency appendectomies?
Ha! No, tracheotomies. Didn’t you watch M*A*S*H?
I thought maybe it was for hacking off a limbing if you ever got trapped. I’m sure it would give you a nice clean cut and things could be reattached later on.
That’s what the light saber is for.
Oh yeah!! I’m always getting those two confused…
I did watch MASH, and I remember the tracheotomy scene very well. It made me sick to my stomach and terrified that someday I would have to cut open someone’s neck and shove a ball-point pen into it so they could keep breathing. *jibblie* *jibblie*
If you ever need me to do that to save your life, sorry. You’re going to die.
Ooo!! Call me! Call me! I’ll cut open your throat to save your life!!
Or you could just call the hot new Army doc on Grey’s Anatomy. He did an emergency tracheotomy with a pen 2 weeks ago. Yikes.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to just jab somebody in the neck with a pen?
I almost passed out and needed to use the first aid kit. My elementary crush…Ahhhh Luke. So handsome, so brave, and now so safe. The perfect man.
Did you see the episode of The Muppet Show that he hosted? Dreamy.
