But you served which many haven’t. You potentially could have been in combat vs those of us who stayed home.
So, thank you. Even as an Uber Liberal I do respect anyone who joined any branch to protect “us”.
As a Viet Nam-era vet I do too. “I was in the technical part of the navy; save it for the ones who were getting shot at.”
And speaking of the navy, the dumbest idea on uniforms “they” have had in a while was climbing on the digicam bandwagon. I mean, your typical sailor is tooling around in something that displaces some 10,000 tons (for a cruiser). Not being seen as an individual is pretty far down the list of concerns. The stated excuse was to hide grease stains better which sounds made up by some ensign to me.
And to top it off, they even abandoned bluish colors. (Shakes cane) Back in my day whether they were in dress or working uniforms, if there’s a soldier, sailor, and marine walking down the street together even a dumb-ass civilian knew right away which one’s the sailor.
A guy was in the hospital in Donegal, Ireland with covid. A group of anti vaxxers convinced him to check himself out. He’s now back, worse than before.
So anti-vax has mutated into anti-treatment, huh. I wonder what else mutates?
I recently learned that there is a county in the US named Canadian.
Can you imagine the confusion and frustration those poor people must go to whenever they try to tell someone where they live?
I know a guy who lives in Home, Pennsylvania and is a long haul trucker.
He got pulled over once in what turned out to be a mistaken identity situation. He was exhausted. The police were questioning him and every time they asked where he was driving he answered “Home”. They thought he was fucking with them, but eventually things were figured out.
The nurse should be fired and also lose her nursing license. She should be ashamed of herself.
Industrial-grade stupid at work.
My grandmother was born there. 
I knew someone who came from Maybee Michigan. He was hitchhiking one day, and the driver who picked him up asked him where he was headed. And heard his response as “maybe Michigan”. The driver kicked him out for being a wiseguy.
Look at the bright side, the truckdriver could have been going to Intercourse Pennsylvania.
The story I saw said carbon dioxide poisoning (essentially, suffocation).
Correct:
Here’s the Medical Board’s Default Final Order (PDF):

- From March to December 2020, Licensee engaged in an informed consent process
with each patient “to establish whether or not they should be wearing a mask,” based on his
personal opinions in general opposition to mask wearing. Licensee regularly told his patients that
masks are ineffective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and should not be worn. Licensee
further asserted that, because virus particles are so small, they will pass through the
recommended masks and most other face coverings people choose to wear. Licensee routinely
directed patients to watch a YouTube video titled, “Tammy K. Herrera Clark on Face Mask
Effectiveness,” that suggested mask wearing was ineffective to prevent spread of diseases like
COIVD-19.
Patient A. In approximately May or June 2020, Licensee informed Patient A, who
was experiencing elevated blood pressure, that wearing a mask might be contributing to her
condition. Licensee also told the same patient that she was at greater risk from CO2 toxicity
from mask wearing than she was from getting COVID-19.- On at least one occasion, Licensee’s wife, working under the direction of
Licensee, told Patient A that COVID-19 was no different than a cold and that the flu was more
hazardous.- Patient B. On or about June 8, 2020, Licensee’s wife working under the direction
of Licensee, immediately directed an elderly patient, Patient B, to remove her mask when
Patient presented for her examination. Licensee’s wife then told Patient B and Patient B’s adult
daughter who had accompanied her to the appointment, that the mask would cause CO2 issues
and compromise Patient B’s breathing. A short time later, while observing that the patient’s
adult daughter continued to wear her mask during the appointment, Licensee’s wife made a
comment such as “Oh, you’re one of those people,” effectively discouraging Patient B from
wearing a mask.
There’s more.
Or he could have been going to Humptulips.
To pick up a load of geoduck (pronounced “gooey-duck”).
Or Blue Ball, PA, which is not far from Intercourse, PA.
But it feels like it’s a million miles away.
Ahem.
No mention of Hell, Michigan?
“Hop in, kid! Put on your seatbelt. So where are we driving?”
“I want you go to to Hell!”
Ah, yes, my college mascot.
Life must get awfully boring when you’re a boring clam with a lifespan of 140 years.
