Scubafreak:

Well, on the First aid side, remember two rules. NEVER move the persons head if they have a head injury or complain about neck pain, and always follow your ABCs.

Better just to not move anybody’s head at all…freaky stuff spinal cord injuries.

Anyway, I always learned it as ABCD …something. Airway, breathing, circulation, drugs, and … hmm. I’ll think of it.

Oh yeah! Electrocardiomajiggy!! I always have a hard time with that one after taking the drugs…

One of the questions I know I bombed on my Pennsylvania driver exam when I was 16 was Blood Alcohol levels. Because when you’re 16 the answer is irrelevant – for a 16 yr old the answer is zero.

Wait, in your dream you get to wear underpants to Study Hall?

Dang, you lucky stiff.

(Of course, the nightmare part of my dream is not only that I don’t have underpants on, but nobody really seems to care….)

I got either a perfect score or one off perfect when I took my theory test many moons ago. I flit the coop before taking the actual driving portion so I don’t actually have a license. It’s great. I can legitimately claim to be a non-driver on beach trips and sit in the back farting and throwing empty beer cans around.

“As American as RC Cola and moonpie.”

No wonder we lead the world in obesity rates! Srsly. Have you ever seen how many calories are in a moon pie? It’s a ridiculously high number! I’ll stick to baseball and apple pie! LOL

The odd thing is that the questions bear no relation to safe driving. They are more like Trivial Pursuit questions.

Who cares if you know which vehicles use blue flashing beacons, so long as you realise that you make every effort to get out of their way, and not for the ones using yellow beacons?

Who cares if you can name the different types of pedestrian crossing, so long as you realise that you have to stop when they are on them and not simply drive through?

I guess that makes me as American as RC Cola and a mince pie.

Love RC Cola…but I always thought it tasted a bit more acidic than most other sodas. Never got into moonpies though.
