Fact: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS
AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.


Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand.

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the
statistics on lawyers for the fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention...
