Massovergeneralization

I'm all for educating the general public on various health issues, but this is a bit absurd. The billboard pictured here reads in big bold letters "It Could be MS"... simple enough. Off to the right though, it reads "Pain could be a symptom", come on, pain? Just pain? Like a tight hamstring, a head ache, a paper cut, a soar ankle, a stiff neck? I think I have experienced all of these in the past week or so, should I schedule an MS check? Nay.

Hopefully this billboard was charitably donated to the MS cause, because if anyone paid for this, that person deserves some pain... not MS pain, but maybe a punch in the junk pain.

When one hat just wont do the trick...

You might try something like this...

Who would steal 30 sack lunches?

Trick question.

These guys did...



...but this guy would.



This guy had stuff to say, and a lot of it. After listening to him talk to the bus driver for about 30 minutes straight, I started writing down the things he was saying, and came up with this list.

- He is diabetic
- He gets an A1C check up every 3 months
- His Doctor is "happy with him"
- Goes to Walmart every Sunday with a group of friends
- Takes 2o green pills, at night, sometime between 10pm and midnight
- He is married
- His blood sugar runs around 82-84
- If he worked for Pierce Transit, if, he would arrive to work 1 hour early, every day
- Feels that learning how to properly close the handicap door on the bus is "something that should have been taught in basic training and safety"
- Supports people getting kicked off the bus if they touch the driver
- Reloads his ORCA card at Saar's Market "johnny on the spot"
- Has a preference on the type of bus he rides
- Was on his way to court

This list could literally go on, and on, but it's not very funny, so it won't. What is funny though, is one more picture of this guy, followed by a link to a picture of the late, great Christopher Farley, who's bus character on Billy Madison looked shockingly similar to this blogs subject.
