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.)
Brad says
Is the pocket knife for emergency appendectomies?
Lauren says
Ha! No, tracheotomies. Didn’t you watch M*A*S*H?
Karla says
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.
Lloyd says
That’s what the light saber is for.
Karla says
Oh yeah!! I’m always getting those two confused…
Brad says
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.
Beth says
Ooo!! Call me! Call me! I’ll cut open your throat to save your life!!
Jill says
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.
Lauren says
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.
Lauren says
Did you see the episode of The Muppet Show that he hosted? Dreamy.
