band-aids

or what also might be knows as "PLASTER"

self sticking plaster is believed to be the innovation of one Earle Dickson. at or around 1920, he got really sick of his wife getting into minor domestic accidents. one would think that he would ditch the wife, but no, he invented band-aids instead.

in my own opinion, the best sticking plasters on the market today are hansaplast elastic cos they ACTUALLY STICK. unlike the DAMN DRESSING ON MY THUMB NOW. which doesnt stick. i have only myself to blame for for non-adherence, cos sweaty palms prevent sticking plaster from sticking! other things that may impede sticking plaster from sticking are hair and touching the sticky bit before sticking it down.

now go tell your friends some random facts !
