So I have the flu and I go to the doctor the other day. First thing they do is weigh me, so I have to empty my pockets. I go to the table and start unloading. Lighter, smokes, ARC-P, cellphone, work cellphone, sunglasses, Mini Ritter, keys, wallet, Prybaby, Fenix L0P, pen, can wrench, random change, wallet. The nurse's eyes are bugging out at this point, and she tells me I have so much stuff that I need a purse. Hee.
So I get weighed and stuff everything back into my pockets, get into a room and wait. And wait.
Finally the doctor comes in and while he's checking me out, he gets to the point where he wants to look down my throat. Grabs this cheapass yellow plastic Dorcy 2C incan off the cart o tools and turns it on. Nothing. He starts smacking it and gets a weak bit of light. So without much conscious thought, I grab my Fenix out of my back pocket while saying "Dude, you need a better flashlight.", turn it on and hand it to him.
He starts freaking out about how bright it was, so I begin telling him about how it's an LED and go on about LEDs a bit. He checks out my throat, and sure enough, flu. He then asks me if I got the Fenix at Best Buy (???) and I say no, that I got it online, told him to google for "Fenix" and that they make a 2AA version that'd probably be perfect, except that it'd probably get stolen.
Heh.
