Saudi #1: "How did you obtain this phone?"
Saudi #1 screams: "GET YOUR HANDS DOWN."
Saudi #1 says again: "How did you obtain this phone?"
Worker: "I found it <somewhere>, it was broken anyway"
Worker says in a pity voice: "You can check it yourself, it's broken."
Saudi #1: "Where did you find it?"
Worker: "<some> house"
Saudi #1 asks about whom did he call with the phone: "Did you call my Madam? Did you tell her you're Saudi?"
"madam" could either be a reference to a maid or one of the Saudis' women(wife, sister, etc.).
Saudi #2: "Do you want to be killed?".. Then he spits on the Worker's face.
Saudi #2 says, after spitting, a common Saudi phrase that basically means: "Fuck you and your family".
Saudi #1 says twice, in extreme rage: "It's my fault for letting you do that." Then he begins to beat the Worker.
Saudi #1 says, while beating the Worker: "SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN I SAID", in response to the Worker's resistance.
Worker starts begging for his life: "Papa! Papa!"; then he begins to scream in pain while Saudi #1 is beating him.

@MichaelL, dude, it's only a personal pet-peave of mine, please take anything I spew with a grain of salt. The comment you made caused my brain to rumble and flex a bit , and that's always good thing. I was speaking to a certain personally-perceived pretension which I address here (and that not infrequently and wholly unsolicited), and for that, I apologize if it ruffled feathers which incidentally, are worthy of ruffling if they be but feathers.

@ Payback, guess I'd owe you $5 had I taken the bet, correct by half, as I am often at least 1/4.

@bcglorf.....now THERE's the pretentious statement I was looking for. Dost thou assume incorrectly sir or madam that I have some retarded grasp and disrespect of both science and the English language????

We think so and as often, this is the ACTUAL case, ACT-UALLY!!

@lucky760 We're both on the same page with the magnetic phenomena.....
wizardry or some other unseen forces-only possible explanation.

Great post mintbbb. It contained absolutely no human tragedy or catastrophe and no fluffy creatures doing cute things. Nice change 'o pace

Tripping?? Perhaps a mirror would be your best friend about now? Times' growing short sir, get without the programming you've cathode-ray-nipped all these years and join the real party...The part of thinking clearly for oneself.

Thank YOU, sir or madam.

Dear Sir/Madam,

During this holiday season, we at the CIA would like to extend our deepest regrets at your recent accidental torture and sodomization.

Please accept the enclosed $20 Starbucks gift certificate as a token of our appreciation.

Nicely done sir (and/or madam), nicely done.

Single payer system will drive up costs and inefficiencies. What these guys are doing is a good thing. Putting up prices and letting you decide.

If Coke was the only drink in to have then they would no no issue to set the price high. As soon as a competitor shows up and delivers a comparable product at a lesser price the true price of the product will be discovered.

Obamacare is not driving out the cost of healthcare for this group. Capitalism is.
from the text above:
The major cause of exploding U.S. heath care costs is the third-party payer system, a text-book concept in which A buys goods or services from B that are paid for by C. Because private insurance companies or the government generally pick up most of the tab for medical services, patients don't have the normal incentive to seek out value.
The Government gave us the third party payer system during WWII. Government is at fault.

Patients shouldn't have to "Seek out value." They're busy, usually being sick, or trying to work while being sick. It shouldn't be a for profit industry, everyone should have healthcare it should be a single payer system.



sorry i live in a "single payer system"

i know people who work in multiple departments/sectors of healthcare...everything from doctors, to home care, to IT

and i can say with full knowledge and satisfaction, that your statement that a single payer system drives up costs/inefficiencies is either ill informed, or completely full of bs...

the notion of competition as being the great equalizer is moronic, in a system where insurance companies spend 100s of millions of dollars lobbying to get the game rules changed in their favor... insurance companies main goal is to make profit... they do that by minimizing cost/quality of service while maximizing return... if you can't see how that contradicts the purpose of health care, you are either naive or morally bankrupt

the arguement that businesses are held to be more financially responsible than government is also a lie... a business only has the financial obligation to report accurate numbers while being fiscally sound... the government has that exact same obligation, but further more has to show VALUE for what it is doing

your argument about Coke mystically assumes Coke is the only drink, thus they could set the price at whatever they want... I assume you are making the arguement that Coke is healthcare? but a company who's goal is to sell coke to make profit... that's an insurance company.... a company who has to be accountable to the people giving it money while making sure that the MOST people have cheap and easy access to coke... that'd be the government

you can either argue that government operates the same as business (as you are trying to do with your horrible coke analogy), or you can argue that they operate differently (as most people who back the business produces better financial results than government argue)... but you don't get to argue both in the space of 2 paragraphs

you, sir or madam, have taken a big old swig of the kool-aid

You're very welcome you the person.

Ughhh so fast paced...

Aww, if you really want it step by step, I can help you out


Thank you madam I could use a private lesson or two

The speed I was referring to was the pacing of the editing, which creates a hastened look to everything.

But rest assured, my hands are steady and never rushed ;o

I'll be back... with a couple of lovely pork chops for you madam.

Just the facts madam, just the facts

Improv Everywhere just got upstaged big time!
@Yogi Just the French portion of the Belgians then? Nothing to say about the considerable Dutch and German speaking segments of Belgium then?
There's a reason Belgium is central to European politics. Anyhow, I just wanted to pull you up about your racist comment and point out that French-speaking Belgians only account for a portion of overal Belgian society

Fine, how about I called them "Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards!"


You are in good company sir and/or madam!

Another ironic thing about the French?

They have a reputation for being rude and arrogant. They also are extremely polite, as I learned when I tried to buy some bottled water from a street vendor in Paris, which my creaky never-very-good high school French. I spoke "French", he answered in English. So I said -- oh, you could tell from my bad accent that I am American.

He replied -- no, you didn't say "please." He was then embarrassed by his truthfulness, and tried to apologize, but I just agreed with him. Americans don't say "please" or "thank you."

It's true -- for all their rudeness and arrogance, it is always "s'il vous plait." And "bonjour, madame" and "au revoir, monsieur" when entering and leaving the small shops.

There are none so blind as those who will not see, ya? Or rather, oui?

trying to speak french as a foreign language in france is incredibly frustrating
no matter how much you've studied and practiced, your best efforts are met with, at best, disdain (no that's not a stereotype) - heh heh

Which is quite ironic, since few people are as careless regarding their accent and grammar when speaking English as the French. I'm having meetings or conference calls that include French participants every other week or so, and it can be quite painful, to the point of being fascinating (how can you sound so bad and yet not notice?).

1:01-1:05 "Madame President" - Obama have a recent medical procedure recently?

Ya ok, wrong president.

Anyway, this makes sense, is good for the country, and is ultimately doomed to fail.
