Health Care Differences


Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.

The second sees his family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for a year from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?





The first is a Golden Retriever. The second is a Senior Citizen.

My wife and I took our children to see this one in the theaters. We sat with our children in between us for obvious containment reasons so we couldn't talk during the movie.

After the movie was over I asked my wife what she though of the movie. She told me "I couldn't figure out how to slit my wrists on the theater seat".

You can't say 'awesomely bad movie' without topping the list with these 2 gems.

By far, imho, the Awesomely Worst Movie is Battlefield Earth starring it's 'creator' John Travolta:

and a close 2nd, you guessed it, another Travolta doozie, Swordfish.

My apologies to Don Cheadle, who was somehow roped into this one...

Thanks! I had, until now, managed to wipe from my memory this 'wonderful' ... film. ;-)

In July my parents celebrated their 50th Anniversary. This month my sister celebrates her 30th and my brother celebrates his 20th. In honor of the momumental accomplishments, I present the only song that sums up this occasion



Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary Happy Anniversary
HAAAA-PEE Anniversary...!

Looking back, I know you guys said it wasn't easy... but the upside is that the stories are always a hoot at the family gatherings.

Michael Medved is having his brother on.

I have seen WAAAYYYY too many of these lobotomies. And YOU are to blame. From now on we watch only Andy Griffith.
