I know I should wear one -- interesting that this thread just came up because only LAST week I was standing in line at the pharmacy thinking, I really should get one of those things. But they are so clunky and intrusive ...

So I was thinking, maybe I should get a tatoo. Then I thought, hmmm. Where would a tatoo make the most sense. Well, probably just above the heart, where the EMTs are most liketly to have to go, right? Then I started thinking of all the tatoos I can think of that I'd rather have in that particular spot ... and I blew the whole idea off altogether.
