I have an appointment for an MRI on my left knee on Monday, Sept. 13. When I got my appoinment notice letter, it said look below for where my appointment is, because there are 4 offices they use. Friday, I called the number given to me on this letter. The following is what the recording says when you connect to the number:
"Thank you for calling Arrowhead Orthopedics. If this is a life threatening emergency, please hang up and call 911..."
Whoa, what?!?
Ok:
1) I should already know to call 911 in the first place.
2) Obviously it isn't life threatening or else I wouldn't have looked up the number to call you.
3) If I am that stupid to look up the number and call it, then be told to call 911, don't I deserve something to happen to me?
Things like this disprove Darwin everyday.

 My doctor's office does the same thing too! But since they both say call 911, that's what I would do.

this may not have anything to do with the orthopediics, but have you ever called 911 with a real emergency?
It doesn't matter what you say, you'll always get "please hold"

Add this one too. I am taking pills to help me fall asleep. The bottle says, on a red lable "May Cause Drowsiness." I thought that was the point of them LOL.

Hehe.... yeah, I've seen things like that. How about on something like a hair drier where the tag says, 'Do not us while bathing' 'Do not submerge in water.' No, really?! I thought it would be a good idea if I dunk this electrical device in water while I am in it. Maybe I'll just lick my finger and stick it into an electical socket........

Don't forget, of course, the ever-popular chainsaw warning.
Do not stop chainsaw with the hands or genitals.
Right....And I was really planning to use my penis to stop a deadly spinning blade...

I have heard that one. I thought it was a joke, but I guess there are people stupid enough to try it.
I also like the coffee one. The cup says "Hot Coffee". The warning: Warning, contents may be hot.
Hmmm, but isn't that why it is called HOT COFFEE? ROFLMAO

We defeat Darwinism every time we let someone like that off the hook for their lack of a brain. But let's keep them coming anyways  |
