ALERT! Gun Thread!
 

Think about this:
a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
(US Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Then think about this:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500.
c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner .0000188.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more =
dangerous
than gun owners.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE =
DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand.

As a public health measure, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers =
for
fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention

Imagine if doctors were actually trying to kill people and not
accidentally doing it.......


Sometimes I wonder...I a had a doctor tell me that I needed an organ removed
over a year ago, and the recent doctor tell me there is no basis for this
decision.

LP (thank goodness I didn't go under the knife again!)

P.S. Doctors or lawyers, they all put their pants on the same way
everyday..

I'm sooo very sorry Nav! They tried to remove your brain and they couldn't
find one? That's scary!

And all this time I thought you were pretty smart until you decided to
"mess" with me...

So how are the new boobs hangin....or whatever


[whatever isn't what you think it is...]

Pretty crude, Oz.

I don't believe in false "boobs". Anything over a handful is wasted
anyway...

right?

Yeah, anyone but the other guy!


What is with you guys that can't protect yourselves?

I have a monitored security sytem in my home for the last five years...

But it wasn't to protect "the jewels", it was to protect the most precious
thing...my children.

And not crude...jeez you women get sensitive whenever we talk about
you.


Well, I think *women* would be an authority on this kind of thing...

But I prefer one in each hand...thanks :-)


You're welcome?

If the other guy has a gun, I get the hell outta there these days.


Good move on your part. In the USA, you wouldn't want to "make our day".
heheheee

But it wasn't to protect "the jewels", it was to protect the most

Yep, Fortunately, no matter what the gun loonies try to say, wehave an
extremely safe community here.


Only until something really serious happens, then you will look at things
differently...

Eh, diferent story when it's not for fun anymore.


Yes, of course! I don't give two men the chance to be hero's when my family
is on the line.
