It doesn't sound like you have every actually looked for mud race colored band aids, cause they don't exist. The movement is toward clear, neon or bacon.

And why only ibuprofen and not any aspirin?

You should go buy a box of natural color bandaids and replace the ones at the office with them.

I prefer the Hello Kitty ones, myself.

(I bet only Paul Constant gets that).

But really, in most cases wearing a plastic bandage is an act unto itself - either you're covering a quite serious battle scar, and therefore have nothing to be ashamed of, OR, you're a big baby that's afraid of germs or WORSE, scars, in which case your lack of stoutheartedness should be announced in such a way.

Stranger office manager, you know what to do.

What, you think Constant is the only one who reads around here?

Probably pretty correct.

Charles, I know exactly how you feel. I have freckles and no bandaids EVER have freckles, I feel alienated and persecuted because of it.

/obscure?

Freckles bandaids - I think some of the Strawberry Shortcakes bandaids have freckles.

From the looks of it, that IS a clear Band-Aid; his skin seems to show through the adhesive parts, it's just the absorbent cotton padding in the center that's causing his tizzy-fit.

Which means I suppose that, until Science develops genetically-modified cotton that comes in a range of skin-tones, wearing cotton must now be considered akin to promoting racism.

Or something.

It's Chaz, after all, who the hell KNOWS what he's talking about. I bet half the time even HE doesn't.

PS That is tote a clear b-aid Charles.

From a first-aid sort of perspective, I think ibuprofen is anti-inflammatory, so it would be a lot more useful than aspirin for say, a sprained ankle. Anti-inflammatories help with the pain and take down some of the swelling as well.

I tend to go for pirate/ninja bandaids when I can get them. When I need something that actually stays on, I recommend those tough strip things - they'll stay on through anything. They're great if you work outside and need to keep sawdust/mulch/plants out of your cuts.
