Hmm, chatting with the paramedic in the family about the rattlesnake bite around here ("oh, there was another one yesterday... and they ran out of Crofab")
Me: "Is that three rattlesnake bites this week?!?!"
Him: "Oh, there have been more than that. They had to get Crofab up from Riverside County."
