The AMA has weighed in on Joe Hockey’s proposed changes to Australia’s health services. The allergists voted to scratch them, but the dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The gastroenterologists had a sort of gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought he had a lot of nerve. The obstetricians felt he was labouring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the ideas short-sighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the paediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!" The psychiatrists thought the ideas were madness, while the radiologists could see right through them. The surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The ENT specialists didn't swallow it, and just wouldn’t hear of it. The pharmacists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter..." The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The anaesthetists thought the ideas were a gas, but the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the arseholes in parliament!

Woody Allen: “Having sex is like bridge. If you don’t have a good partner, you’d better have a good hand.”
Here's your English lesson for the day!
"Complete" or "Finished"?
No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished." However, during a recent linguistic conference, held in London, England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the presenter when he was asked to make that very distinction.
The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite audience was this: "Some say there is no difference between 'complete' and'finished.' Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand."
Mr. Balgobin's response: "When you marry the right woman, you are 'complete.' If you marry the wrong woman, you are 'finished.' And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are 'completely finished.'"
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.

/*JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in
the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of
NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of
France as soon as possible.*
*Rusk responded "Does that include those who are buried
here?"*
*You could have heard a pin drop*
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
*There was a conference in France where a number of
international engineers were taking part, including
French and American. During a break, one of the French
engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard
the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an
aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami
victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'*
*A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:*
*'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can
treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered
and can supply
Emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they
have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000
people three meals a day,
They can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water
from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen
helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured
to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such
ships; how many does France have?'*
*You could have heard a pin drop.

*A Royal Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference
that included Admirals from the U.S. , English,
Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail
reception, he found himself standing with a large group
of Officers that included personnel from most of those
countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they
sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly
complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages,
the English learn only English. He then asked, 'Why is
it that we always have to speak English in these
conferences rather than speaking French?'*
*Without hesitating, the British Admiral replied,*
*'Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's,
South Africans, and Americans arranged it so you
wouldn't have to speak German.'*
*You could have heard a pin drop.*
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
*AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...*
*Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in
Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes
to locate his passport in his carry on.
*
*"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs
officer asked sarcastically.
*
*Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
*
*"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
*
*The Englishman said,**'The last time I was here, I
didn't have to show it."
*
*"Impossible. You English always have to show your
passports on arrival in France !"
*
*The English senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.
Then he quietly explained,*
*''Well, when I came ashore at Gold Beach on D-Day in
1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a
single Frenchmen to show a passport to."*
*You could have heard a pin drop.*
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
*If you are proud to be an American, British, Canadian,
Australian, South African, or a New Zealander pass this
on! If not, delete it.*
Absolutely priceless....I'm sure there are many French people that appreciate what our countries did in WWII. Nonetheless, i have some good mates that will thoroughly enjoy this!
