Joke circulating the web

[A_Little_Show]

The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's new health care package. The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter". The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the a******s in Washington.

Sadly there is nothing funny about obamacare and the fallout it has caused.

It and him are a fucking disgrace.

Amazingly, this forum had been a refuge from all of that stuff irrelevant to eroticism--until now.

Let's just stop this right here, because no one is going to change his/her mind about this--which doesn't have a god damn thing to do with Literotica.

Maybe the OP should have used one of her alts for this.

Thanks. It's really nice to have this forum as a refuge from such divisive crap that has nothing to do with erotica and has all of the attributes of gerbils on a wheel.

All I can say is I feel so lucky to live in a country where universal healthcare exists. It's not perfect, but at least every citizen has a chance of getting the treatment they need without selling their house to pay for it.

See what happens.

Still seems kinda bitchy to me. It was a joke that Show floated our way. I could think of a lot worse threads than this one. While I agree that we don't need a long run of political threads on here, and that this damn near started one, I don't think "relevance" has ever been the argument to make.

 

[sr71plt]

What do you mean "damn near"? We've heard from both sides now. What in the hell makes you think that it now will stop--or that there was much hope it would once it was initiated?

And, no, the "joke" wasn't innocuous--nor did it have a damn thing to do with Literotica.

It would be so great to have one place we could meet without this sort of crap going on.

Jesus, pilot calm the fuck down. That's exactly what I mean by "bitchy". I was, once again, agreeing with you in part while trying to tale the edge off. It would also be so great if we had less people that made such a big deal over the dumbest crap.

And (here's the agreement part) while I think we don't need a buttload of political threads here, there's been tons of stuff here that is way outside the bounds of "relevance." Then when it's something you don't like, you're all the sudden a relevance Nazi?

It's really not something to get your panties in a wad over. Do you really just lurk the forums waiting for your chance to tell someone they're wrong about something?

Or is this another "save the day" project you've taken up?

Personally, I saw a couple of plot bunnies in that supposed "joke."

I find it rather funny to point out that part of it (" . . . internists . . . a bitter pill to swallow") stresses how the very word "intern" seems to now, many years after the whole Monica/Bill Clinton thing, seems to indicate "girl willing to suck cock as part of the job."

Now I'm imagining a story in which that really is the case. Would probably have to go in the Humor/Satire category, though.

NB "Internists" and "interns" are two different things in medicine. An intern is a doctor in first year of residency training; an internist is a fully-fledged doctor who specialises in internal medicine. Compared to the other specialties listed, they're more likely to be prescribing pills to patients; I think that's a more likely explanation than the Monica connection.

Ah. Yeah, you could be right. Still, the term "intern" still has a pseudo-sexual connotation to it.

So, who's all signed up for ObamaCare?

Personally, I think that the joke should have been put in the "Humor" thread.
