Doctors vs. Guns
contributed by John 2005
Doctors:
* The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000
* Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000
* Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.
Guns:
* The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000
* The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
* The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of F.B.I.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat immediatly. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
Note: Out of concern for the public at large, the statistics on lawyers have been withheld for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Crazy Math
In an insane asylum, three patients are up for release. The Doctor decides to give them an intelligence test. He turns to the first man and asks, "What is three times three?"
"274," he replies.
The Doctor asks the second man, "What is three times three?"
"Tuesday," replies the second man.
The Doctor turns to the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?"
"Nine," says the third man proudly.
"That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you arrive at that?"
"Simple," says the third man. "I subtracted 274 from Tuesday."
