I have no idea where it originated but it is pretty funny.
Physicians!
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services.
Guns!
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is
80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million.
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups is
1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.
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. We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand.
Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics
on lawyers fearing the shock would cause people to panic and seek
medical attention... |
