[names changed to protect the innocent]
Hon and Jazel were enjoying a splendid
night out at the Master Baker's Ball.
Whilst in the throes of socialising, Hon
suddenly felt a sharp, dagger-like pain in
his chest. It ripped at his heart - Hon,
from his previous career as a cardiac
specialist,
recognised the signs of a
cardiac infarction. "Shite arse, a heart
attack" yellopped Jazel!
But Hon was calm. Strangely calm. (not
dead mind you, that'd be a rubbish story)
Hon was wearing a special tuxedo - a
new defilbrillating dinner jacket, a heart-
shaking suit to kick start his organ. The
in-sleeve heart monitor picked up the
irregularities in his blood pumper,
diagnosed cardiac arrest and the in-lapel
heart voltage source kicked into action.
"Stand clear", sounded the in-collar
loudspeaker warning system.
... and with a enormous shock from the
in-tail battery source, Hon's heart was
back in order, in time for canapes and
speeches.

there is an effort in the States to put defibrilators in every restaurant, and other public places, I believe -- can't find a link right away... |

After dinner bedroom utility as well! |

Can I have one for in the mornings? |

(R S) maybe Howsur Sternum? |

It makes sense that being aware of a potentially life-threatening health issue, one should be prepared 24/7. With asthma I keep inhalers and required treatment elements readily available, as diabetics would stay prepared. I'm wondering though about the requisite items built into a D J... is this choice with alternatives or options? I mean, is it available as say, for under shirts or in women's wardrobe items also? Like something you could affix to different or new items for daily wear.. Heck just the in-sleeve monitor would enable some people to engage in and enjoy life more. |

Could be hilarious to watch/seriously life threatening if it went off accidentally, depending on your disposition... atrial fibrillation, anyone? |
|
| |
Listening to this anecdote, I can't get the lyrics for Elton John's "Someone Saved My life Tonight" out of my ear, and wonder if there isn't more than a passing similarity to Hon and Jazel in the story telling. Ah, butterflies. |
|
| |
Also available: the optional Heimlich maneuver accessory. |
|
| |
That would be disasterous if it went wrong, [bris]. |

Don't know if I'd like to have a DJ with the weight of all the batteries that are required. |
|
| |
If you're wearing it in a restaurant you could probably have a mains version which plugs into the socket nearest your table. You'd just need to be slightly careful when going to the loo. |

"Hon's having another heart attack! Someone get an extesion cord." |

Last night a D.J. saved my life |

'cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said: You gotta get up |
|
| |
You gotta get off
you gotta get down
girl.
You know
you drive me crazy
baby |
|
| |
You've got me turning to another man.
Called you on the phone
no one's home -
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I do.
Last night a D.J. saved my life |

Last night a D.T. saved my life

Start up the DJ, and all the lights dim everywhere else. Very romantic. |

"Would sir like the optional MMR scanner attachment?" |
|
| |
this is just a pun isn't it? |
|
| |
What if you spill something on it? And is Hon even a male name? Why do I ask stupid questions? Do you think my ass is getting bigger? |
|

//this is just a pun isn't it?// It's a baked pun at that, I may have to complain to a moderator... |

It gets wet. No it's not. I have no idea. Yep, without doubt. |
|
| |
[wagster] I'm writing a note to myself now to complain. This is an outrage. |
