Couple of Things
July 26th, 2006 . by CaryFirst, a tip of the hat to rick and kathy for this well worded verse.
Second, a quick salute to my best friend from high school, Bob, who sent me this alert via e-mail yesterday:
Doctors
The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician is 0.1714.
Statistics: courtesy of the U.S.Dept of Health & Human Services
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 1500.
The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.0019.
Statistics: courtesy of the FBI
Statistics show that doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, guns don’t kill people, doctors do.
Fact: Not everyone owns a gun, but 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 the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
BwaaaHaaaaaHaaa, Cary that is so funny and so true. We are sitting here cracking up reading it. Good One!! Kudos!!
Not called ‘Gunz’ for nuthin’. 😉
I hadn’t seen that one in a while. Shame that it’s true. It’s also a shame that the anti-gun nuts can’t seem to comprehend these stats either.
Good post. Take care.
LMAO, I’ve seen that one before- scary. very, very scary. Take it form someone who knows.
Cary-Cars are even worse, but you wont get anyone to give up their SUV’s… 🙂
R&K – thanks for your lead in!
Gunz – I picture your moniker as having three meanings: your rank, your firepower, and possibly the size of your arms? How close am I?
John – the last thing the anti-gun nuts want to see is some truthful stats. That would ruin everything they try to argue about.
TL – thanks for stopping by.
I figured you would get a kick out of this one, sues. Working with them and all …
Ebyjo, you can have my QX4 when you pry the pump handle from my cold, dead hands … 🙂
OK, bro, that was very funny. Who woulda thunk you Jarheads had such a sense of humor!
Gawfer is shaking his head…
Who woulda thunk it!
Go Navy!
Of course we have a sense of humor – we hang out with squids, don’t we?
Right on brother! 🙂
Ummm… can I kill my doctor?
Oh yeah… didn’t Dr. Phil say 1300 kids are killed by guns every 5 minutes? What a jackass. Yeah, he can give me advice…
ROTFLMAO, Hey Cary, did you see your picture on Blonde Sagacity.

Love it, Love it, Love it!!!
DS – don’t kill your doctor, just report him.
Gunz: Cool!
Bushwack – I went to look, and it’s associated with Kofi Annan – eew. I may have to change my avatar.
Mary – thank you, thank you very much. Thank YOU for turning me on to Rick and Kathy.
supermilarocks – I hereby dub thee Sir Spamalot. You will be the number one reason I end up going to Haloscan. Just to screen your butt out. Moron.
