28 years ago, I had a stack of blank IBM punch cards that I used for various notes.  When my wife went into labor with our first child (just after midnight - ugh), I grabbed one and started writing down the times of the contractions.  Every time she had a contraction, she would wake me up to tell me and I would write down the time.  Several hours later when we went into the hospital, the nurse asked me how far apart the contractions were.  I handed the card to her.  She was impressed that I was that well organized.

Hey, they fit nicely in a shirt pocket.
