Lab coat story: I had a part time job at a pharmacy when I was going to school. Every employee had a white lab coat. Despite the fact that I was just the stock boy/cash boy/general gopher, I had one ... got a kick out of wearing it.

On more than one occasion, traffic stopped to let me cross a busy Ottawa street when I strode purposely out of the store. I attributed it to the coat.

(Little did the drivers know I had just been sent out by the pharmacists to go pick up lunch ! )
