EsskayForgive me Saeed, I could not resist posting this here (mea culpa mea culpa)
Doctors vs. Gun Owners
Doctors
(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.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of
Health and 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.
(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.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
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!

boltshooterCome on Esskay,
Let's not be so hard on Doc.
When you get accidentaly shot (God forbid) (not mortally) do you want to see a another gun owner or Doc?
When your child is sick do you take them to your gun dealer or Doc?

We do need to laugh at ourselves from time to time!!

wasbeemanThat has been around for a while. I thought it was funny the first time and I think it's funny this time. My doctor thinks it's very funny (I'm not the one that told it to him) and everyso often gets parts of it into our conversations.

Idaho Sharpshooterthe best part of this humor is that it is true. The FBI provided the gun deaths part.
