Today was CPR and First Aid training for The New Job. The day was as normal as you could expect considering that we had all been up since the crack of dawn and were locked up in a room full of “manikins.” There was an older woman in the class who wasn’t a part of our group and she made the day highly entertaining. We were discussing the Heimlich Maneuver and she wanted to know if it would be okay for her to place a pillow between her hands and the victim (umm…why?). Our instructor kindly explained why that wouldn’t work (as he had about her past 17 random suggestions) and that her hands would need to be focused on performing the life-saving technique — she wouldn’t have time grab the pillow and position it even if it were helpful.

And then she popped off with this gem.

“You would be surprised the things I can do with my feet.”
