I wonder what the statistics would be if you included the NON accidental gun deaths? This spawned a question for me, what are the gun death rates by police? This is difficult to determine because it is difficult to determine how many police there are...

I thought that I could keep editing (because of a recent update), but the edit button is gone. I use statistics from different years in my previous post because that is what is available in the CDC and other statistics that I found. And this thread h...

I once told a plant manager that was trying to reprimanded me based on some figures he had that you can make the numbers mean anything you want them to mean. Case in point...... Everyone who has ever taken a drink of water has died so water must be p...

Everyone who has ever taken a drink of water has died so water must be poison. Dihydro-monoxide

One evening my family brought our frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and left her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flowe...

Doh! I admit that I did not see (small?) that punchline coming.

Wow!!! We use to tell that joke in Elementary School. Thanks for the memory! :-)

A farmer has 895 sheep. Realizing that this is quite a lot of sheep for one farm, and his only sheepdog is getting a old, he decides he'll probably need a whole team of dogs to round so many sheep up. So the next day, the farmer goes to the pet store....

A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were willing to try...

We were wondering why our mail looked like someone just threw it all over the yard. Oh, and we named the baby Cliff.

My computer got the Miley virus and it's stopped twerking!!

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you...

So, being American is what will kill us. Not what we eat or drink. (>.<)

Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain when he went to the dentist? He wanted to transcend dental medication.

Must be a slow day on the boards....

Must be a slow day on the boards.... Shhhh! We're trying not to encourage her.

I'm stealing that. That's hilarious

Heard it on the radio at lunch and had to share.

A Zen master visiting New York City goes up to a hot dog vendor and says, "Make me one with everything." The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and hands it to the Zen master, who pays with a $20 bill. The vendor puts the bill in the cash box and closes...
