Laughing hysterically

I have forgotten to share with you all the most hilarious thing that came in the mail recently.

It is this pretty little pink and purple plastic credit card size card for my implants! Now I got one for my port...I assumed to carry with in case I was in an accident and I couldn't talk. But I was a bit stumped as to why I would need to alert EMTs to my implants....and then I read the fine print at the bottom.....

Due to a metallic compound in the implants, do not come into contact with a MRI machine and be aware that the compound may set off metal detectors.

LOL-LOL-LOL-LOL

So envision if you will how much this tickled me since you may have guessed if you have been reading my blog for a while or just if you know me how much I truly enjoy humor at my expense and all I can think of now is walking into an airport and trying to get through the checkpoint. It goes off and they ask me to step aside and they wand me and it goes off over my boobs! How completely hilarious is that? Because you know, when you are in line and some gets pulled aside...you watch...we all do, it is human nature to be curious....plus.....you either want them to be "caught" or you want to laugh at the incompetence of the whole thing, so you watch. What would your reaction be to seeing the wand go off over my boobs? Would you just think I had..."decorations" there or would you wonder about the wand? Or would you just laugh either way as it would be pretty silly?

I also wonder about setting off the alarms in stores and what a hassle that could be, but I hate to shop so that shouldn't be that much of a problem. None-the-less....until the next surgery, I will be carrying that card with me since I don't think I would be able to stop laughing to explain!

Still sick so no fill up this week..I'm hoping for Monday...the flu stinks.

Blog ya later-
