When it comes to needles, I am a wuss....

Had a cabinet fall on my hand and it required stitches.
The Corpsman was setting me up and said he was going to deaden the area with Novocaine and I got a count of how many insertions for the stitches and how much Novocaine.
I declined the Novocaine and the Corpsmen said
“Even Marines take their shots”
I said something along the lines of Marines etc and he started stitching. When he finished he sat back and admired his work before cinching it.
He forgot to tie a knot and I had to go through it again AFTER receiving the Novocaine shots.
Apparently the Corpsman was on loan to the Base Clinic.

SO, now I figure if I get rabies I will make up a list of people I want to bite....

The gubmint morons delayed my shots until literally the 11th hour of the last possible day.

I had a list...and I made sure to mention it, often.
