...today with the whole grade level," says Ms. Teacher whom I've never met, but sends every hangnail to my office. I thought she was kidding. Then she said, "It's part of a math lesson on quality control." Then I realized she wasn't kidding.

This is why I have a job! I swear we'd have dead children today if I weren't there. :eek:

I literally laughed out loud at these last comments. Someone asked what was so funny. Obviously I can't say "memberes", so I brushed them off.

Y'all gone git me in trouble.

Average member size is 3-6 inches.

Whoops, sorry, putting my health teacher hat on. Everyone is obsessed with size, don't you know? :whistling:

Curious.

Where are we measuring, from the front, or from another area?

Duh! It's an allergy party! There's gonna be peanut butter and latex balloons and the epi will shower down from the sprinkler system!

Is this like those chicken pox parties from days of yore?

Depending on size, you use more peanut butter.

Big feet, big hands, big ears--you'd better be packing, cause you're a goofy looking guy! (Gotta give credit to Jeff Foxworthy for that one).

Anyway, I hope the peanut butter teacher was just kidding and got schooled in the fatality rate of peanut allergies.

Regarding the "allergic to peanuts but not to peanut butter cups" thing, I had a pt tell me that they can eat peanut butter, just not Reese's because they have a major reaction to it. I've also had a pt tell me that they host an annual seafood dinner at their house, knowing they're allergic to shrimp. If they eat it in a restaurant, they react, but they're fine if they eat it at home. They serve dinner with their EpiPen parked by their wine glass, and all the dinner guests know what it is. I've also had many pts tell me, as they're calling to schedule a post-ER follow up visit, that they'd take a dose of Benadryl THEN eat the food they're allergic to, thinking they'd be safe because of the Benadryl. I actually include that in my "what not to do" spiel for new allergy pts.
