...Phil had scratches on his thigh from it clawing him on the way out. I pulled him out and laid him down on the floor right in front of the door. I turned his sock inside out and made a tourniquet and put his foot on my shoulder because he was bleeding so severely. I'm very busy doing what I'm doing and not realizing that we are less than two feet from the cage door where the zookeeper's trying to get out and the animal's still trying to attack Phil.

But it will take 12 days to transport the chicken...
...Happily, my friend is vigilant. When she goes out to eat, she grills waiters about recipes and ingredients. She carries a penlike syringe of super-strength antihistamine, which she is prepared to plunge into her thigh in the case of accidental almond consumption. And, of course, she reads food labels...
