The American Irony



There is this website for comics (www.gocomics.com). It holds hundreds of comics and registered users can comment on a strip of their choice, and view other users' comments, besides other things.
Yesterday I was browsing through the Pink Panther strip (shown alongside). People started to comment on how taking the stairs was good for health as it gave a good workout. One of the readers wrote the following:
"I work at an HMO, and they encourage this. Ironcially, I’m a temp, which means that I can’t afford their insurance, so my bad knees, asthma, and impoverished poor diet means that I have to take the elevator. To quote Will Rogers, “God bless America for a sense of humor.” "

God Bless America for declining credit to people with poor credits, so they never have a chance to build a good credit. God Bless America for declining affordable health insurance to the already ill. God Bless America for serving red meat and cheese on everything edible, but drinking 2 % reduced fat milk. It sure is a place where anything is possible!

  1. Good thought dear...
    Its the same every where in the world , people eat thing that they think will not harm them and others think that these will... I think its their belief that is the difference in the thought.

    Anyways , good topic to talk about

  2. I could easily get into a lengthy debate on this if I say anything more, so I will gracefully take leave from this subject here :)
