Lab Rat

I had an early doctor’s appointment this morning, and my doctor wanted me to have some blood work done. As the technician was preparing everything, I asked her if she had any fun band-aids.

Tech: No, but we should, huh? For people with a sense of humor?

Me: Totally. You really need some Batman or Superman band-aids or something.

The tech yells across the room to the other lab technician: Hey John, we need some Batman bandaids.

John, who hasn’t heard our conversation, but doesn’t miss a beat: Aw, man. I know we do.

    They have sweet band-aids these days. I was so pissed the massive leg wound was too big to be protected by the likes of the band-aids in the first aid aisle.

    As a matter of fact, they had these when I was looking the other day: http://www.medibadge.com/Tattoo_Shapes_Bandages_P3591C48.cfm

    Curses! It would have taken 30 to 40 of those kickass tattoo band-aids to cover my graphic kickball injury. I couldn’t justify buying boxes upon boxes of fun band-aids for the wound that lasted 2+ weeks.
