I have just completed a...

... Saturday Morning Ritual. I have returned from (free plug here) the Panera Bread Store at which, each Saturday between 7:00 and 7:30 am, I arrive on foot for really good coffee, an amazing pastry and a long quiet look at the morning paper. What I discovered in the morning paper today almost got me tossed out of the coffee shop. Rolling on the floor with laughter can apparently endanger other patrons!

From page 12A of the Daily Oklahoman - By The Associated Press...

FDA examines impotency drugs, blindness

Viagra, others may have to change lables

WASHINGTON - Federal health officials are investigating reports of blindness among dozens of men who used Viagra and other impotence drugs - but at the same time cautioning that vision loss can be linked to the same illnesses that lead to impotence.

et cetera...

So the bottom line is...

I was right! I told all my kids that if they did 'YOU KNOW WHAT' too much that they'd go blind!

PLEASE READ and HEED...

This frightening warning is from my Cousin Jim, who presides over an Inter Glacial Bog with a very interesting fauna in Columbus, Ohio.

(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)

(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 for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
