...whether I run towards them or away from them depends on what's in my pockets at the moment.
Actually, that's the old DM. Nowadays, dm typically only packs two knives and a tactical pen. Quite tame, really, quite tame.
The dirty hypo story
In my work with RM & JM, I deal with more than my share of hypos. Ever try to stick someone in manual restraint? If they jump, the needle could break, or go flying. One of my RN friends died from AIDS because of a needle stick he got at work. Very sad. So I'm touchy about needles - or 'sharps' as they say in medicine - which is ironic since I work with sharps all the time.
We get a lot of weird mail here in the office - psycho stuff, manifestos, a lot of stuff from prisons (I swear I could double our subscriber numbers if we weren't blocked by such institutions). We had this guy from a UK asylum mailing us some crazy manifestos. He mailed us one with a package of powdered cheese soup. He mailed us another with a dirty hypo. G2 stuck her hand in the envelope and pulled out the hypo and said "what's this?" I told her to freeze and delicately removed it from her grasp. I contacted my friends in NPD as well as the local post master and they both said there wasn't too much to be done but keep in as evidence in case more came. I now have to keep an X file, where I deposit all of the wacky missives. It's two folders thick now and overflowing. There's some great stuff in there if you like reading manifestos. There's also a securely wrapped dirty hypo.
