People feel safe in hospitals.

Whatever was wrong will be made right….wrong.

Things can go wrong, terribly wrong in a hospital.

Consider

the Woman Jailed for Stealing a Baby from a hospital or

the doctors who got twin brothers mixed up!

In Japan, a woman eventually miscarried because nine, count ‘em, hospitals refused to see her when an ambulance brought her to their emergency rooms.

In the end, the ambulance collided with another car and another ambulance had to deliver her…but…not the baby.

That same Japan…three people, one a fashion model suffered burns when a surgeon erroneously applied high-density disinfectant to their faces and necks prior to a operations.

Uh…what was the disinfectant doing in the area in the first place?

And…why three at a time?…one a 20-year old student, a 34-year old woman and a 5-year old boy.

Still feeling safe when someone tells you are going to the hospital?

Barry Bonds’ home run balls aren’t getting any attention.

However, some chewed-up Michael Vick football cards have sold for $7,400 in an eBay auction with proceeds going to the Humane Society.

The seller gave the cards to her Great Dane puppy to chew on and then thought (how this idea came into her head I will never know) maybe somebody will buy these chewed up cards.

Sure enough…$7,400 later somebody did indeed buy them.

My dad used to say that people will buy anything. If you put a bucket of crap (not his word) on the front porch, sooner or later somebody would buy it, either because they want the crap or they want the bucket.

He was right.

So, who is more foolish in a case like this, the seller or the buyer?

Probably the hitter, IF it were Barry Bonds.

Now, if the Great Dane who chewed up the cards was on steroids when he did it, the price would go way down, I’m sure.

There’s a reason why thieves keep on stealing.

It has something to do with them not being too bright to begin with.

A thief ran off with a businessman’s briefcase at the Dusseldorf Airport in Germany.

S/he then ransacked the contents of the briefcase and tossed it aside…with the two cash-filled envelopes still in it!

The envelopes contained 10,000 euros ($13,660).

“Pen, notebook, scheduler, envelope, pictures, ticket stubs, envelope….”

“Dang it. Ain’t nothin’ worth stealin’ here.”

Yeah, who would imagine anything of value being found in an envelope? a fat envelope?

Lesson remember – haste makes waste? or, If you are going to do something, do it right, the first time.

My older sister, a teenager at the time, once bowled a 6.

Yup. She threw the ball 20 times and only knocked down six pins.

Then there are the people who throw the ball backwards, hit the ceiling or bounce a ball into the next or next to next lane over.

Somebody, some dude, some knothead…threw a bowling ball off a highway overpass and hit the windshield of a semitrailer truck.

Minnesota State Patrol is hoping somebody will brag about this idiocy at the watercooler or in the sauna and that the listener will turn him or her in.

If you know or hear about it…call 1-508-389-1171 – the State Patrol Mankate district office.

Wisdumb – the best lessons in life may be learning what not to do.

Teenagers, especially boys, think they are invincible.

Put them behind the wheel of a car and the stupidity is exponential – to the degree of the speed they are going.

A 19-year old in southwest Scotland took his Ford Escort for a 140mph cruise, filmed it and put it on Youtube…now, no longer there.

I find it hard to believe that a Ford Escort can go that fast, but that’s a different story. Maybe, the Youtube was to prove his Escort could go that fast. Ford is probably trying to get their hands on it.

Anyway, a police sergeant said the boy was “completely foolish.”

“Not only did he endanger his own life, but that of other road-users. It is unacceptable, and to post a recording of such driving on the Internet is entirely stupid.”

Uh…my brother once turned up his Ford something back in the 1960s. He and his buddies went speeding about and found themselves being chased by cops.

They outran the cops!

But…my brother felt guilty and decided to GO BACK to apologize to the police.

They accepted his apology by throwing him in jail.

My dad told him he did two stupid things:

1. outrun the cops

2. go back

Let’s see….the teenager did how many stupid things?
