It was a school day like any other, nothing out of the ordinary. Little Jimmy Henderson and Ritchie Marcus were just let out of school when they saw their favorite janitor "Sweepy" in the main hall. "Hey Sweepy!" they both cried out. "Jimmy! Ritchie! How are m'favorite students doing today?" he replied jovially. Ritchie and Jimmy were just discussing Sweepy before the final bell. Sweepy always carried an odd tin of bandages with him. They had decided that the next time they saw him, they would ask about it.
"Hey, Sweepy? We were wondering why you always carry that weird bandage tin around with you. Why does it have a hole in one side and a dent in the other? And why does it have pictures of meat on it?" "Well young'ns," Sweepy replied, "m'name didn't always used to be Sweepy. I used to be Corporal Dusty Hoover, explosives expert, 23rd Recon back in 'Nam! If you two got the time, I'll tell y'all the story of how I got m'nickname and this here band-aid tin..."
