View Full Version : The Five Gallon Bucket First Aid Kit

I think we should be more safety-conscious around here. To that end I went to the hardware store and purchased a five gallon bucket. It's a real nice plastic one with a snap-on lid. This is going to be the basis of the SDMB First Aid Kit.

So far there's the five gallon bucket itself (natch), a box of band-aids, a pound of Hamster Chow, a spool of mint flavoured (it's imported) wax-coated dental floss, and a bottle of tequilla.

What else should we have? (The only stipulation is it has to fit in the five gallon plastic bucket.)

Some lube, a bottle of baby oil, candles (scented or not you're call), and all sizes of batteries.

A couple of limes to go with the tequilla.

Matches for the candles.

A pound of fine dark chocolate (it's a pain reliever).

Some cinnamon-fresh Brainwash and some eyeball grade sandpaper--for those threads you should never have opened.

Tinfoil, to make hats protecting one from the crazies.

A sponge and squeegee for all the inevitable meltdowns.

Some type of lube, like K-Y jelly, to make it easier to extract body parts from various orifices (foot in mouth, head up ass, etc...)

A 1990's Style handgun, to make anyone think twice before brandishing the infamous "1920's Style Death Ray."

I think you can get free samples of that new "warming" K-Y Jelly. At least, that's what the ads say...

smiling bandit, it's actually Windex™ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259446/) that solves everything.

Some Mercurochrome so we can draw little red "healing rabbits" on people's cuts.

WD-40. Someone already got the duct tape. If it sticks, squirt it with WD-40. If it moves, use the duct tape to hold it in place.

A can of 3M Troll Repellent.

A Popeil Pocket Server just in case this one goes down.

A box of Bisquick, a round cake pan and a Sterno stove. Even without butter and jam, Bisquick mixed with water and cooked is right yummy/

A couple of kiwifruit, a splendid source of vitamin C for those moments when you are flagging in energy. Have you tried the golden ones?....personally I think they are icky.
No kiwis though, the birds are nocturnal and only helpful if you need worms or grubs in the midle of the night and the people (well the male ones) have gone totaly nuts about football at the moment so are no good to anyone.

Rubber bands, Dixie cups, clean underwear, a 3rd edition D&D manual, the boy scouts handbook, and a box of Tic-Tacs, preferably cinnamon flavor, but mint will suffice in a pinch.

Preferably 11. Then we'd better toss in two mushrooms and a snake, as well.

The first part of my last post (as opposed to the first part of the second party) was responding to DrMemory's post.
