As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I
ask the patients if they are allergic to anything. If they are, I
print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.
 
Once when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she
said she couldn't eat bananas. Imagine my surprise when several
hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses' station
demanding, "Who's responsible for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"
