Guns and Doctors...funniest joke ever!

[Colorado Belle]

SOME FACTS TO PONDER :


(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is



700,000.




(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians




per year are



120,000.



(Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician



is



0.171



Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of



Health Human Services.



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




Now think about this:



Guns:



(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S.




is



80,000,000.



(Yes, that's 80 million..)




(B) The number of accidental gun deaths



per year, all age groups,



is



1,500.




(Calculation) The number of accidental deaths



per gun owner




is




.000188



Statistics courtesy of FBI




>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




So, statistically, doctors are approximately



9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>









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 completely out of hand!!!!!



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



Out of concern for the public at large,



I withheld the statistics on




lawyers



for fear the shock would cause



People to panic and seek medical attention !

That must be why I have no problem going to my Friends houses that have Guns but hate going to the Doctors:holymoly:

Sadly, CB's post is *NOT* a joke, but statistically true......


Just pity my poor patients, they see a gun toting Doctor!

Another fun fact. Children are approximately 100 times more likely to die in a swimming pool accident than a firearm accident. Yet compaired to firearms, pools have almost no legislation....

Go figure!

P.S. Remember we all make mistakes, the difference is Doctors bury their's.......

Ah Tony, I was going to disclaim for my MO lawyer friends, but forgot to disclaim re my MO doctor friends.

Someone sent this joke to me, knowing my history with beast doc his scummy sidekick, assatorney. As you probably know, I was married to a doc for 25 years and now deal with his beastie side plus the scummiest lawyer he could afford and crooked judge....so this joke was perfect for me.

Glad you took no offense, dear frog...as none was intended.

Hey CB - I joined this forum because DH spends so much time on his favorite forum (getting me interested in a forum was his solution for the two of us spending more time together - is that not perfect "guy think" or what). Any way his favorite forum is Smith and Wesson - a bunch of guys talking about guns.

Now my DH is a little different from most gun owners - we met on the internet and one of his appeals to me was that he was a member of both the Sierra Club and NRA - as he says no one knows the value of the right of individual gun ownership better than a liberal in Texas.

I shared this with him and it made him laugh even harder than I did!

I'm glad you enjoyed it and again, no offense to my MO attorney friends who have helped me so much these last few weeks either.

I'm not in the least comfortable around guns and with my current attitude towards some people, that might just be a real good thing. But maybe I need to get into some kind of 'gun' toting internet forum...or maybe a 'Godfather' forum and take care of sum bidness!:thumbsup:
