Today was First Aid Recertification Day ...

Now I can say I am certified for another 3 years. Or certifiable. Take your pick.

It was done through work, and I got to go with Jerret and Keith, 2 of the biggest jokers ever. I am pretty good at starting stuff myself, but these guys laugh at it, and run with it. And I do mean run.

We started off reviewing what to do if someone is choking. As soon as she said the word "choking", I started to giggle. Keith looks at me and gives me the glare of death and whispers "it's not funny ...". I started laughing harder because he was wearing his Maple Leafs Jersey ... and I whispered back to him "in that shirt you should know ALL about choking!" Hahahahahaha .... It makes me laugh just typing that.

He started to laugh too, told me it was a low blow and he would get me back. And he did. It's hard to give rescue breaths to a plastic dummy when someone's whispering "oh yeah baby, come on, blow harder .... " Needless to say it was an interesting day.

When we went for lunch, Jerrest was driving, and he noticed a lady in a car that looked like one of our vendors at work. This lady wears a fanny pack, and has virtually everything you could think of in it. So then we were suggesting things she might be carrying with her (ala Batman). Grappling hooks, shark repellent, tampons, bandaids, bubble gum-shoelaces-tin foil (with with to MacGyver something to perfectly secure a display to the racking), gatorade, nailclippers, boxcutter, paperweight, glue, etc. Bet if you asked her for a pen she wouldn't have one ....

Tee hee! I miss Keith...he was always so much fun. Be sure to say hello for me...

Your class sounds a little like the Back Training class Russel did...we managed to find something dirty in everything he said in the class, and could not stop laughing...
