Did you get to see many religious billboards? I have always found it funny when I see Jesus Saves signs next to billboards for adult stores.

And a hello to you!

To be honest those are things that I really don't notice all that much. When it gets pointed out to me though it is funny.

I hope, he's not a doctor.

Even the worst doctors aren't that dumb.

He may have been involved in alternative "medicine" though.

I just lifted up my arms and told him to start counting my ribs. He did not want to do that. But he was adamant that he was right. Later I told a couple of other coworkers what had happened and most of them said that he was right and I was wrong. I was flabbergasted. When I got home I looked online for references on that issue and there were many stories, even from university professors who were told the same thing by their students.
I printed out a male and female skeleton and brought it in to work the next day. Haha, I won, he had to admit defeat on that issue

Who would make an assertion so ridiculous without looking it up to make sure? I mean, it does sound really, really stupid, doesn't it?

Fortunately the idiot I encountered was online.

When he asked how I would know I had to point out the part of my original response which stated, "I'm a physician".

Why would you need to even point that out anyways? What about, "I took human anatomy in highschool"?

There's that, too.

I'm just amazed by the ignorance level some people display.

When asked how he knew that I was wrong one of my other colleagues said that he read it in a textbook that belonged to his sister who was studying to become a nurse
