There is a medical report transcribing company in the UK that advertises its refusal to hire foreign labor, cheap or not. Really? I'm pretty sure that would be an infringement of UK employment law. I suspect she means that they do not outsource offshore or do business with sub-contractors who outso...

Skate rental -- $5.00 Dapper fedora -- $75.00 Emergency room bill after taking nasty spill at end of musical number -- $15,000.00, none of which is covered because the ER was out-of-network. Does not include the $500 radiologist bill incurred because the x-rays weren't sent to the contract radiologi...

You say "low-cost off-shore medical advisor" and I say "low-bid Pakistani quack." The whole point being that you didn't need to say it at all. The poor sod is just like the rest of us: desperate to get some kind, any kind, of paid work and not in need of haughty and arrogant att...

How about this -- Then, whether the kids survived or not, the insurance company would have had one of their cheap-ass-English-speaking-low-bid-foreign-scab-labor-who-happen-to-come-from-Pakistan-this-time-but-could-just-as-easily-have-come-from-India-or-Cornwall med school rejects review it to find...

There are only about six people in the entire U.S. who watch professional soccer. I suppose you have absolutely no idea how much this little factoid explains to the rest of us what is wrong with the USA... Yeah, we don't have the hooligans. We're really missin' something.... But I like when the who...

How utterly cool. There are only about six people in the entire U.S. who watch professional soccer, and we have one of them right here.

You know, I never really thought about linking directly to the message board. I think that I would miss reading about Dale being the undisputed king of whistle journalism, over and over again. And, oh yes, Binkie, the Wonder Possum. Not to mention being the first to know when the next biennial edit...

The special-effects departments make the new mystery programs more revolting than horror movies used to be. That new Avatar of yours is pretty scary... Slan D. :lol: Seriously...imagine you're a truck driver, and you take a quick glance in the side-view mirror... http://forums.chiffandfipple.com/do...

Hmm ... Is that National Highway System some kind of, like, government thing? A socialist road system? Sounds like a liberal plot to me. Who was this Eisenhower guy anyway? You socialize the roads and you know what that will lead to, don't you? Soon we'll have socialized fire protection, and a soci...

The cost (several $million?) to the family was zero . . . In the U.S., the hospital would have done a wallet biopsy, then sent the babies by the cheapest method of transport. Then, whether the kids survived or not, the insurance company would have had one of their Pakistani med school rejects revie...

My tinnitus is a D, which is really handy for tuning whistles.

(Just kidding -- I can't tune to it, but it really is a D.)

Hands down, the most interesting article link I've ever seen here, and the only one I've ever read all the way to the end.

Ok, maybe that's a bit hyperbolic, but thanks, s1m0n.

Oh, gawd, yes. You just know it's a piece of pig tooth, or a chunk of finger, or someone's toenail.

Yes, I should have been more specific. No brand labels showing. They want to make it as difficult as possible to bring your own lunch so you'll just buy the crappy cafeteria lunch.
