I get mine FREE from my Doctor!!!

Is that before or after your proctologist has examined you?

Bread bags make great emergency gloves. They also work as emergency boot liners when you discover your waterproof boots aren't so waterproof after all these years.

You do eat bread, don't you? Then you've already paid for them.

Great idea Mike.

When I was in Chicago for the owners event I wore a plastic glove from Subway to keep my finger dry. A few days before the event a dog bit the end of my finger off when I was in Wisconsin and I had to ride the RT home like that and try and keep it dry. It worked great in a pinch and there were Subways all along the way home. :doorag:

Kind of a rough image to post at 8:15 in the morning, don't you think Lamont?

ok stupid question, why did the dog bite part of your finger off

 

[Bob Denman]

By "a dog": I assume that it wasn't one of yours? :dontknow:
It looks as if it bled itself reasonably clean... although you always have to completely disinfect a wound from ANY animal... nojoke

I'll bet that was sore! :yikes:
(Did the dog survive the bite?) :joke:

I just deleted my comment, b/c after rereading, I can't tell whose dog did the biting.

look on the bright side, you can still pick your nose

Until the time you get nailed in the hand with a bug while going 65mph on the highway. Or the dually truck in front of you had a rock caught between the tires and flings it at you like a baseball shot from an automated pitching machine.

Do you really think the rubber gloves ( or surgical gloves) they are talking about will give any long lasting protection?

It was a friends dog. I had a Rott and it was a great dog with our family. The dog was put down and it turns out it had bit before. My friend had two small girls so I'm thankful it was me and not the girls.

Back to the glove. The Subway glove got me home and kept my finger dry. Still hurt like crazy but it was a dry hurt

WELLLLLLL NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT

OTHER people here have been talking about rubber gloves ( which are way too small & are way too tight ) or the super thin surgical gloves which are even thinner and TIGHTER ....neither will fit OVER any normal type glove that will keep your hands warm...... I only posted this as a bit of information.........sometimes the simplest solutions evades even the most Brilliant................... Mike :thumbup:

No, of course not.

Yep, bread bags. Six of them (because sometimes they split open) rolled up with a pair of wool mittens stuffed in another bread bag tucked away in a pouch for the cold wet unexpected return home.

Mike,

When I first read the original post, I thought you meant the gloves that you find in the hospital or dr's office, that was my fault. Then, I can see where others got off track, and thought the same, and started making smart comments. I can definitely see where what you've mentioned makes sense.

Now, let me go back a few years, before you were on here, someone mentioned the hospital/dr's office gloves as being put on first, and then your normal gloves; this was supposed to be a way of keeping your hands warm in cold weather. I can tell you that doesn't work at all. That's where I originally got confused. I think your idea of the food workers gloves is a good idea.:thumbup:
