Geocache Description:


Today, my wife was in a hurry and grabbed some books and papers on her desk. Quickly, she noticed a pain in her hand. In her rush, she had stabbed herself with a pencil and the pencil lead had lodged itself in her hand at the base of her pinky finger. She had fought a pencil and lost. She went to the emergency clinic and after about two hours came home with her finger bandaged. The lesson learned is to not be in such a hurry.
OK, it actually isn't lead poisoning. Pencil lead is graphite, but graphite poisoning just doesn't have the same ring to it.
The cache contains a little baggie that has the actual pencil lead and small chunk of wood that was carved out of my wife's finger. Be careful with it. Even though you are at the emergency clinic, we don't need a repeat of this incident. And even though the pencil lead is there, I would suggest you bring your own writing tool. Just be careful. We refuse to be responsible for any graphite poisoning or ink poisoning.
