    I knuckled under to the government on this. Quit tobacco, took up pot. The taxes are less.

    By that logic, Tom Waits is a one man anti-anti smoking campaign.

    Sorry, but that's the definition of a good kung-fu movie. Anyone who wants better latency is misguided.

    @JTX: @reas0n: I've been a pack a day smoker for fifteen years, the only time I 'quit' was when I was pregnant for 9 months. I'm giving it a serious go on the 19th of this here month. I get two weeks off from work and figure there won't be too many people for me to beat up, so it's a good time.

    What happened to stem cells? I would rather they create one in the lab and implant that.

    Not just smokers! The school where I worked had several long term teachers who developed throat cancer (proximity to farms?). This would be such a boon to those teachers.

    Allan: Some guys were getting tough with Julie. I had to teach them a lesson.
    Dick: Are you all right?
    Allan: Yeah, I'm fine. I snapped my chin down onto some guy's fist and hit another one in the knee with my nose.
    Linda: Would you like us to call a doctor?
    Allan: No, no, I could use a 3 foot band-aid.

    In reply to Custom Band-Aid Machine Covers Any Length of Cut
    I almost pitched a fit when I saw that it's only a concept. My son has a skin problem that needs a huge bandaid so the cream to cure it doesn't get wiped off. Then my wife has a wart on her foot that needs small round bandaids to cover the wart remover. The medicine box has neither size.

    @daqman:
    Something similar to the rolls in the machine has been around for aaaages. You just can't buy the machine. Go get a roll of band-aid and a pair of scissors.

    I'd prefer a custom band-aid machine that would let me put any awesome picture I wanted on the back.

    Nice idea, but the execution would be very difficult.

    They already sell a much more feasible version of this, it just relies on scissors instead of an automatic cutter.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher::

    I've had these too... my other thought is "don't the small sticky edges by the pad always come unstuck?" Unless the dispenser has a special gauze cutter, I think the strips would just come off the first time they flexed or got slightly moist.

    I would be the first one in line to buy this.

    Not that I get hurt often... but I hate that you can buy an assortment of several sizes, but you are lucky if you can find the mid-size or the small size band-aids at all.
    All you can find is the large ones. So you are required to buy another assortment just to get the small ones...

    It's like the 6 hotdogs / 8 buns per pack dilemma.

    @aec007: The hotdog to bun dilemma is actually in case you screw up the buns when assembling the hotdog/bun/topping device. It's not a mismatch, it's a feature.

    If you lost a finger, I don't think a band aid would help much...
