	This is not on the level of the Heimlich Maneuver, but might
come in handy:

	When you burn yourself, should put something cold on the burned
spot quickly.  Well, I've done this, and wasted precious time getting
an ice-cube out, wrapping it in a paper towel, etc.

	While you're doing this, LICK the burn, and suck air past it
to cool it.  Saliva is supposed to have an natural but mild disinfectant
value anyway [ref?].  Please don't call it the Turner Maneuver.
