Doctors, Guns & Money

Sorry I haven't been around much lately - I've been addicted to Ebay, plain and simple. I'm doing as much of my Xmas shopping early and online as possible, and I've been on Ebay 18 hours a freakin day. It's sick, I tell you, sick!!!

Still with J, everything's great! Actually looking forward to the holidays this year, sans shopping. I hope I get a nice Xmas bonus to pay for all this shit ;o)

I leave you with a Friday funny, as I have to get back to Ebay!!!


Guns and Doctors, Some interesting comparisons:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

---------------------------------
Now think about this:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80
million..)

(B) Accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) 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.
