Oh me too!  I use it for food.  Reminding mothers that simply NO ONE takes a
dietary history of the person donating blood OR of the person receiving
blood.  "Now lets see, before I give you this unit of blood, I want you to
know that the night before donating blood, this person consumed a mix of
broccoli and cauliflower, had chicken marsala made with wine and lots of
garlic, and three glasses of -- um -- a 1977 cabernet.  I understand that was
a very good year for wine grown in Southern Michigan.  So I have to tell you
that besides getting loopy, you might have some trouble with excessive
flatus.  Would you like me to check the dietary habits of another bag of
blood?"

Yeah right.....
