Surgeons use them whilst operating on you, would you classify them as stupid or gullible ?

No, I'd classify them as having their hands full.

Any water container would work. Hopefully the surgeons are competent enough to keep their beverage off to the side...

When it's everywhere, and you need water, and a bottle is a better answer than a cup...then it makes sense to grab the bottle, seeing as how it's already supplied. The question is, why IS it supplied? Why is water bottled from the Wheeling, West Virginia, municipal source (one second-tier brand of bottled water) better than the water bottled (or put in a canteen) by me, off the Frenchtown, Montana tap?

Bottled water, either.

Bottled water is great, Beats drinking out of a puddle at the side of the road when you are out and about.

I use canteens.

I also save those used 2ltr soda bottles. Those are pretty-near indestructable...perfect for a car trip. Less desirable if you have to carry them somewhere, outside the car.

I always have water. Last time I was reduced to desperate moves, was when my motorcycle broke down on an excruciating hot August, and the phones were out of order. I was on Lookout Pass, the border between Idaho and Montana...in a closed weigh station with a broken phone. And I ran out of water.

That was my fault for not better prepping for the road, though.

I got so pissed at predictive text/spellcheck/auto insert, I cut it off a couple of months ago. It waa good at first . But I use too many contractions and apostrophes ( Cajuns call dat comma to da top) and to insert all of them .lol

So i went back.
Everything was working fine. Sometimes today the predictive text disappeared. I check my setting and everything was turned on.

I had to power down and  restart.
It came out of hiding.

Funny... dem tings dare.
