Just admit it up front.
You didn't wear clean underwear.

But I hope you wore SOME underwear.

@skydog @georgetakei Paramedics expect unclean underwear.

@coyoty @skydog @georgetakei

I mean, if something happens to me that requires paramedics taking my pants off then I guarantee my underwear will not be clean at that point.

@georgetakei But where’s the fun in that? 🤷🏻‍♂️
@georgetakei In 1989 I could not explain to a Lawrence, KS paramedic, why I did not wear a helmet. I spread the message in Germany and Japan.
@georgetakei I'm too old to change now.
@Jon_Kramer @georgetakei I hope you're not referring to your underwear!
@SteveJB @georgetakei I never wear that. Kilts only here.
@georgetakei You never want to be the story of the night in the ER.
@georgetakei You are more likely to end up as an anonymous patient in a YouTube video recounting if you try to lie about it or beat around the bush.

@georgetakei

Nobody *ever* tripped and fell on something that got lodged there. Just use a toy with a flared base and decent handle.

@georgetakei Reminded me of a story from university. A medical student I knew was on duty at a hospital one night and a young lad of about 18 arrived, having fainted at a dance. When they undressed him they found he had a salami strapped to his thigh, to give the impression of a huge todger.
@georgetakei Just let em have it; they won't be put off by anything. It'll save everybody a lot of time. Only thing you can do that'll bother them is to die.
@georgetakei paramedics are not humans?
@georgetakei I wonder how many "birds and bees and handcuffs" explanations a paramedic gets....? 😁
