Nice@ My dad, as a new senior, was paying $60/day for two of his meds; he had to spend $2,000 before everything became reimbursed 95%! We(some groups I'm in) made some noise & they brought in a more fair Pharmacare plan. My point was "They've already PAID all their lives so we could have a wonderful medical & pharmacare system; why are they being billed instead of thanked?" > Yep. We had one smart-aleck who came through the drive-thru, who wanted > "a fur burger, and a side order of thighs". :P I told him, you'll find that > in the red light district toward downtown...and that's not the one with all > the traffic signals. Another one (who wasn't the brightest light in the > drawer), wanted a Big Mac. I said "Sir, this is Burger King...McDonald's > is down the street". I did tyhat once, as a joke, when visiting my former wprkplace; buddy took me out of hos[iotal for lunch. My boss was footing the bill for us both. I asked for the order pad & wrote "fur burger & a side of thighs"; I saw the carhop discussing with the cook through the service window, looking at the paper, then at me several times before bringing me my food. The carhop explained nobody could read my writing(true story of my life); I ended up with a dish burger & some fries. . . good enough! > He has several others including: I have a few of his MP3s saved in my D:\SOUND directory. . . > GP> For a more modern one, just as funny & clean, but now, sadly, RIP, look > GP> up John Pinette on YouTube -- he's a great story teller who takes you > GP> with him on his hilarious adventures > Jeff Foxworthy gets a bit PG at times, but he doesn't get as bad as > Jeff Dunham. Jeff keeps to a tv persona, yup. Look up John Pinette; I'm sure you'll like him.

I like to use that one, too... akin to Peanut's airplane over the head move. .. . ZOOOOM. . . > GP> Apparently, a man recently destroyed his own house. > GP> He was convicted of homicide. > He must've needed the insurance money. Who doesn't? (need it) Q: Why doesn’t Santa have to provide health insurance for his workers? A: They’re technically Elf-employed I am trying to get tornado insurance for my campsite, but the companies keep denying my application. They told me, “If your tent gets blown away, you won’t be covered.” My health insurance company refused to pay my bill because I believe in reincarnation. They said I have a pre existing condition. Hoping to collect on insurance, I bought a bumper sticker for my old car saying, "Please Steal Me." Unfortunately it didn't work. They stole the sticker and left the car. A fishing boat recently capsized when the fish on one side of the net all swam down. Insurance refused to pay out. They argued it was an act of cod. Medical office had a picture of Christopher Walken on the door with "Walkins welcome" We should raise insurance rates on drivers who have never crashed their cars. They're driving wrecklessly. GF: I learned a lot about insurance at work today. Specifically high risk pools. Me: I don't like high risk pools...unless there are at least two life guards on duty.
