I believe that he meant she had a Public High school Diploma.

Well, to be fair, I represented a woman in a tax case who had a Phd and had a nutty husband that was a tax protester. Tax protesters usually develop later on in life after a mental illness or tough break in life. Many times their wives are left cleaning up the mess. So I think its entirely plausible.

It's called "putting your money where your mouth is". Outrageous claims need to be backed up. Since you say you don't have an income, then you obviously you don't have any money. So how about something non-monetary?

How about if Petey is still in the Pokey come September 7th, that you shave your head and get a temporary tattoo saying "I am an idiot" on your pate? Or if you're really, positively, absolutely, 101% sure that he will be out, how about making that tattoo permanent?

Well, I'm reminded me of the old Jewish joke about a "phudnik" -- a nudnik with a Ph. D (I can't remember the exact definition of nudnik right now, and since I've been in the hospital, with an infected gall bladder, since Monday, I don't have my usual resources -- I'm using a hospital computer for this).

Sorry to hear about your illness. I highly recommend the doctors shoot the gall bladder in the head before it can bite your other organs and spread the infection.

Don't listen to her!

That gall bladder is simply a product of its environment; it's not responsible for its own state of affairs or its actions. The gall bladder just needs to be rehabilitated so that it can again be a productive and useful member of the "organ community" in your body.

I recommend sending your gall bladder to a social worker for counseling.

Get a print out of your ultra sound results. Write "refused for cause" on it in red ink at a 45 degree angle starting in the lower left. Return it to the ultra sound technician. NOT your doctor; that's how they get you. You'll be fine.

Ouch. Been there, done that. It was supposed to be a run of the mill laproscopic cholecystectomy, but the slimy green thing was too infected to risk that, so they opened me up like a gutted buck, took it out the old fashioned way, changed the oil while they were there, and sewed me back up.

No No No. Any Tom Lehrer fan can tell you that it's not Charles de Gaulle but Dr Samuel Gall.
Tom Lehrer wrote:I'm sure you're all aware that this week is National Gall Bladder Week, and so as sort of an educational feature at this point I thought I would acquaint you with some of the results of my recent researches into the career of the late Doctor Samuel Gall, inventor of the gall bladder, which certainly ranks as one of the more important technological advances since the invention of the joy buzzer and the dribble glass.
Dr. Gall's faith in his invention was so dramatically vindicated last year, as you no doubt recall, when, for the first time in history in a nationwide poll, the gall bladder was voted among the top ten organs. His educational career began, interestingly enough, in agricultural school, where he majored in animal husbandry, until they... caught him at it one day... whereupon he switched to the field of medicine, in which field he also won renown as the inventor of gargling, which prior to that time had been practiced only furtively by a remote tribe in the Andes who passed the secret down from father to son as part of their oral tradition.

He soon became a specialist, specializing in diseases of the rich. He was therefore able to retire at an early age... to the land we all dream about: sunny Mexico, of course, the last part of which is completely irrelevant, as was the whole thing, I guess, except it's a rather sneaky way of getting into this next type of popular song, which is one of those things about that magic and romantic land south of the border.

I'm not sure that your doctors understood your case at all. It sounds like to me that they only removed your straw gall bladder. You'll probably have to go back and go through the whole process again if they failed to do the pre-surgery UCC filing properly.

Well, all I know is that I woke up, this morning, with a blank UCC filing statement in my hand, and a pile of red pens by my side.... :roll:
