The laser hack who actually prints this bracelet probably thinks the last two lines are a joke. The real jokes are the second and third lines which contain completely bogus phone numbers. I snatched them right out of the air! Imagine some first responder, bless his soul, hearing, "There's no Cristina at this number and I don't know any Dave. Sorry." Wouldn't that be hilarious!

Cool Product Pick of the Week
My Mom was up from Houston for a few days this week and was sporting one of these cool ID bracelets from Road ID. I thought it was a great idea and had to have one, living on the edge as I do. Why just last week, or maybe it was a month or two ago, I was standing just ten feet from the edge of Hawksbill Crag, the most over-photographed geological feature in all of Arkansas. The week before that, or perhaps last fall it was, I scrambled up a 45-degree rock slope for several meters at Devil's Den State Park. One tiny slip and it is not inconceivable that I could die somehow right then and there, with my wallet locked in my car a third of a mile away at the trail head. First responders would have no hope of ever figuring out who I was. Well, I for one refuse to die anonymously, which is why I'm not leaving the house for the next ten days until my Road ID bracelet is delivered. It's just not worth it!

Right on.
Why not "Send me over Angel Falls in a squirt boat"?

I definitely want to see that Road ID whenever I'm there...I want to see if that's what you really put on it! It's a good product-I wear mine whenever I run or go to the gym (except on the days I forget it at home.)
The Road ID really is a great product. What genius would think of making a combined ID bracelet and last will and testament!
Soub, great to see you buddy! I'd run angel falls in a leisure suit.
Wow, if I ever lived on the edge, I should have one of those things. But living alone in my room, the chances of being mistaken for another corpse beyong dental record recognition are negligibly small.
Even though the last lines weren't a joke (?) they were the ones making me laugh. And the idea of the id bracelet with a fake phone number too. Or, as Carl said: right on.
Thanks all for stopping by! I just got an email that my bracelet has been shipped, last will and testament and all! I really don't give a rat's ass whatever you all do with my empty corpse. I chose what I chose mainly because it looked better on the little bracelet simulator gadget than "PUT MY ASHES IN A NALGENE BOTTLE AND DUMP THEM IN A BOG."
