I’ve got a number of those heavy duty Kotex in my first aid kit. You know, the ones that are like diapers. I figure those will handle sucking chest wounds no prob, Bob.
OK, so this guy was buying Kotex for his wife in the Dollar Store and he was a young guy, embarrassed (I was not), so he hoped to breeze right through.
But of course there was no price on the package so the checker had to get on the phone and call the back of the (small) store, and there was a long line, and the checker was holding this big box of Kotex up like they were the Stanley Cup, thinking they could be seen, and everyone was watching closely, but pretending to be uninterested ...
Well, she got the hardware dept. by mistake, and the clerk there thought she said, “thumb tacks”.
So he got on the store-wide intercom and said, his voice reverberating through the store:
“The ones you can push in with your thumb or the kind you gotta use a hammer on?”
The ones I got have the straps and like I said they are about as thick as the Indianapolis phone book so you can wrap them around, say an arm or leg and staunch a pretty heavy blood flow.

ROTF!
