As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang.

Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, “Herman, I just heard on the news that there’s a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77.

Please be careful!”

“Honey,” said Herman, “It’s not just one car...It’s hundreds of them!”

A teacher posed the following problem to her arithmetic class: “A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars. Onefifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity. Now, what does each get?”

The classroom fell silent for a moment, and then an earnest young voice piped up: “A lawyer!”

Useless Information EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BAND-AIDS

SO WHERE DID THE BAND-AIDS® COME FROM?

Band-Aids® actually came from Listerine! Here’s the Scope... oops...scoop:

In 1920, another brother, James Johnson, heard that his employee had invented a neat product. The guy’s name was Earle Dickson (note how his name is lost in history and the company took all the credit and profits).

In the 1860’s, a British surgeon named Sir Joseph Lister pioneered sanitary operating room procedures. In many hospitals, the post-operative mortality rate was in excess of 90%. I think it’s clear to us today that his ideas were well needed.

Way back on December 6, 1917, Earle married Mrs. Earle (the former Miss Josephine Frances Knight). Josephine was extremely accident prone and constantly seemed to be cutting her fingers with those darn sharp kitchen knives. Problem! His company’s bandages were too big for her delicate little bruises.

They wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Listerine.

Why, you may ask?

It seems that the doctors operated with their bare hands in street clothes. Spectators were allowed to observe the operations first hand. For surgical dressings, they used pressed sawdust which was lifted off the floors of the saw mills. Instruments were not sterilized - only washed with soap and water.

Lister gave a speech in Philadelphia in 1876, expressing his views on germs. No one was interested.

By 1920, he grew weary of having to bandage up his wife’s dainty little fingers. He decided to affix small pieces of the sterile gauze to the center of strips of surgical tape. (I can hear the crowds of people now - “DUH! That’s pretty obvious!”

These are the same people who are unable to figure out how Newton discovered gravity because it’s so obvious.)

No one except a Missouri physician named Joseph Lawrence.

He mentioned what he had created to a fellow employee at Johnson and Johnson and was encouraged to approach management with the idea.

Lawrence went back to his lab and developed an antibacterial liquid, which was manufactured locally by the Lambert Pharmacal Company (any idea which Fortune 500 Corp. this became?).

The Johnsons weren’t overly impressed initially. At least not until good old Earle showed that he could easily apply it to himself. No help needed! Wow! Shazaaaaaam! What a great idea!

They needed a name. We can be sure that they must have tossed around some great ones in that board room. Maybe ‘horrible tasting liquid’ or ‘Stuff to make your bad breath smell like something else that still smells bad, but not THAT bad’. I guess they weren’t interested in these great suggestions.

Unfortunately, the original handmade bandages did not sell only $3000 worth of the product was sold during the first year.

(The New York Times reports that “they came in sections 2 1/2 inches wide and 18 inches long” - does this seem a bit large to you?)

Instead, they gave it the name Listerine, in honor of Sir Joseph L----r (you can figure out the rest). This gave it an antiseptic image. The right name at the right time.

By 1924 the Band-Aids® were produced by machine and sales took off. History was then made. Over one hundred billion have been made to date.

So how does this lead to the Band-Aid?

By the way, poor old Earle was not that poor in the end.

The company actually made him a vice president (until he retired in 1957) and then a member of the board of directors.

Unfortunately, Earle didn’t enjoy a long retirement - he passed away on September 22, 1961 at age 68. At the time of his death, Johnson and Johnson was selling over $30,000,000 worth of Band-Aids® each year.

It turns out that one other person was impressed by Lister’s talk – Robert Johnson, a pharmacist from Brooklyn.

He and his two brothers decided to start a company to produce large dry cotton and gauze dressing. The company had a great name - Johnson and Johnson (why was the third brother excluded?). They were shipped in germ-resistant packages, guaranteeing sterility until opened.

Their next product was baby powder, also still on the market.

The Girl Around Town

By Natalie Cooper I heard the St. Patrick’s Day Parade came rolling through North Wildwood on Saturday.

I imagined being a kid again and hearing the sound of the bagpipes echoing from blocks away all the way up in my bedroom on the second floor of our house. The bagpipes always meant the parade was near, and I always waited anxiously for the parade.

Always. Hearing this, I’d immediately run downstairs in my green outfit and harass my parents until one of them took my two younger brothers and me to the corner of Atlantic Avenue to watch the people in the parade come down the street.

St. Patrick’s Day as a kid was always a holiday to which we looked forward. In elementary school, we would celebrate the whole day. We would wear regular green or white clothes as apposed to our usual uniforms, we would sing Irish songs and learn how to dance the Irish Jig, we would tell tales of leprechauns and dart around the classroom trying to find where they could be hiding, after we would return in the morning to little footsteps on the window sills our teacher spent time painting there after we had all left the previous day.

We would make our own Irish potatoes. And then we would spend time eating them and reveling in our work. So the parade every year was sort of like the icing on the cake in my book.

Sometimes on the day of the parade, my family and I would get there early. We would walk the block away to Atlantic, each carrying our own beach chairs. When we would get to the street, we’d search for the perfect spot just off the curb and plant our chairs down. We always tried to find a spot up front, since there were crowds of people there waiting to see the same thing. But we always found the perfect spot, and when we couldn’t, our parents found it for us.

When the cheering from the crowd roared, we usually saw them coming; kids dressed up in green outfits with green hats and glasses and shamrocks all over, carrying banners and jumping and running and handing out candy, men on stilts dressed in green overalls covering their five-foot-long legs, leaning in towards us to wish us a happy St. Patrick’s Day and to shake our hands. And what made it special was that we could pick out our friends and our neighbors and others in the community, because that’s who took part in the parade every year—friends.

When the men playing the bagpipes marched through, playing slow melodies with serious faces, the crowd died down, and people gathered around a little closer and listened in silence and reverence. It was always my favorite part of the entire event. Even as a little child, I could always tell there was something special about that moment—the unified silence, the coming togetherness of the crowd, the appreciation.

When the men finished playing their songs and began marching again, the crowd dispersed quietly, and we’d gather our beach chairs and stroll along back home. The ending of the bagpipes meant the parade was over, and that was okay usually, for we wanted to eat our lollipops and Irish potatoes.

It’s funny how, as you get older, St. Patrick’s Day means different things to different age groups as they pass different stages in life. As a child, it was looking forward to bagpipes and sweet candy. In high school, it was the pure satisfaction of dressing in street clothes instead of my uniform for a day. In college, it was parties thrown in celebration of the holiday, with green punch and green beer cans. But I guess no matter what age I am, or no matter how I celebrate the day, I know there is meaning and reason behind the holiday and why the general population takes time to celebrate and remember it. And as long as people still take that time to celebrate, the real meaning will be unchanged and bubbling under the surface celebrations.

Look for my column every week when I’m . . .
