Jokes

As a trucker stops for a red light, a blond catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says, "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.

When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blond says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blond gets out of her car, runs up, and knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers the window. Again she says, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!"

When the light turns green, the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blond. He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says, "Hi, my name is Kevin. It's winter in Minnesota and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"


Doctors:

  • Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
  • Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%.

Guns:
  • The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000 (yes! that's 80 million).
  • The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
  • The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%.

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 have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention...
