There was usually a scramble of males to get their first - for the mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions. Just to be on the safe side, like  whistle:

And no, I didn't know at first that you weren't meant to use tongues during mouth-to-mouth...

And at what point did you discover that the heart is not actually behind the breast you were so carefully massaging?  whistle:

The thing I was massaging was lower down and had hair on it. Seemed to revive her pretty quickly  8)

We had a chap at work who was always in early. It turns out it was becuase he hadn't made it home the night before. He didn't so much feint as fall asleep with the gentle aroma of stale lager wafting from him.

And no, we didn't try mouth-to-mouth on him.

Sorry TMR but:

feint:
1. A feigned attack designed to draw defensive action away from an intended target.
2. A deceptive action calculated to divert attention from one's real purpose.

faint
1. To fall into a usually brief state of unconsciousness.

 redface: I was thinking that as I was typing it, but I convinced myself I was right.

I blame it on the fact I have been up since 4 o'clock in the bloody morning.

An unusual faint of that sort can be heart related and not show up on an ECG ~ it happens to me from time to time only in my case I don't faint because the implanted defibrillator kicks in and shocks me back. Some people do develop a heart problem that results in the heart literally stopping and then restarting itself and this doesn't show on an ECG because the event is well over before the ECG is taken.

Click on Medical Info on the menu to the left hand side of the screen and then on Blackouts.

This BTW is a charity well worth supporting.
