"methylethylbadstuff" is priceless. Thanks for sharing it. ER's used to keep a pint or so of toluene on the shelf. Some urologists used to use it to cauterize open areas on...places that interest urologists. Grew less popular as the hazmat aspects of toluene got more press. Toluene can be very amusing in its nitrated forms-TriNitroToluene among them.

"Make sure you have plenty of empty water bottles ready!"

Nope! Make sure you have plenty of FULL water bottles ready. Drink the contents of a bottle, then fill it. Repeat.

Dual duty. grin

I have been saved more than once by an empty bottle found on the shoulder of I-5 (I-5 in CA is a pigsty). Females would need a Lady J tho. And a little bitty 12 oz bottle isn't big enough...

That's also why a large mouth soft drink cup is handy to have laying around your car's cockpit!!!!!
