16th Sept 2011 Accident Or Emergency ... You Choose When

It was only yesterday I mentioned in one of my Blogs about the worrying general cut-backs happening in several European countries Including Spain. What caused most concern and disquiet are the closing or fewer hours of attention to sanitary and health matters, like the closing of pharmacies, primary health clinics and certain hospitals. It's announced today yet another health centre is closed in Catalunya, making it 56, so far, out of the 185 with 24 hour emergency services.

 

For more than 2 weeks and in several clinics affected, many local folks have been staging silent protests, camping round the medical centres, quiet, orderly, but firm in keeping their posts. The number of people following suit is increasing by the day, so are the number of centres thus 'occupied', some right inside with their mats and sleeping bags, absolutely refuse to go home. The centre in Viladecavalles has been closed for a month, and about 50 towns folks had installed themselves there, turning the ambulatory into a culture centre with make-shift beds.

 

So, if you 'must' have an accident or sudden pain or attacks on some parts of your body, first make sure it's not night time - nobody at all would see to you. You need to wait till 8am, the habitual opening hour. And, not at all on Saturdays and Sundays - no services of any kind in some of them, emergency or not! Meanwhile, try not to bleed to death. Best of all, try to have accidents or emergencies only on the specified days and hours.

16th Sept 2011 The One In A Billion Shot

The following photo was taken at the entrance to Katlian Bay at the end of the road in Sitka, Alaska ... 

The whale is coming up to scoop up a mouthful of herring ... (the small fish seen at the surface around the kayak). The kayaker is a local Sitka Dentist. He apparently didn't sustain any injuries from the terrifying experience. The whale was just around the corner from the ferry terminal, and all the kayaker could think at that moment in time was: "Paddle Man - really fast!"

The whale's mouth is fully open with the bottom half

under the boat. If the whale had closed his mouth

before he furiously paddled away -

He might have been LUNCH!!!

Look at the picture again - He is in the whale’s MOUTH!

16th Sept 2011 Giggles - The Drunk & The Blonde

The Early Morning Drunk ~

Rodney and wife Wilma are awakened at 3 o'clock early one Saturday morning by a loud pounding on the door. Rodney gets up and goes to the door where he sees a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain.

"Give us a push" says the swaying stranger.

"Not a chance," says Rodney, "It is three o'clock in the morning." He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

"Did you help him?" Wilma asks.

"No. I did not. It is three o'clock in the morning and it is pouring with rain outside."

His wife said, "Don't you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself."

Rodney does as he is told, gets dressed and goes out into the pouring rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello! Are you still there?"

"Yes," comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out Rodney.

"Yes. Please." comes the reply from the darkness.

"Where are you?" asks Rodney.

"Over here on the swing," replies the drunk.

The Determined Blonde ~

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!" The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!"

Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator.

Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her.

She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just then the blonde flips the alligator on it's back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
