Choose Your Hospital Well …IF They Will Let You in

Aug 30th, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | 2 comments »

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?

Chewed Up Michael Vick Card Goes for $7,400 on eBay

Aug 30th, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

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.

The Worst Bowler Ever

Aug 30th, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized | one comment »

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.
