Oh, and as far as this thread - I love it. I can't wait to see what the weekday crew has to add. I wish I had something to add, but I work in a very uneventful industry with few dirty secrets. This is the only industry I've worked in.

Wait... huh?

anyway, this thread is amazing. Kind of a downer though.

... another thing i can add is that political opinion polls mean absolutely nothing. the surveys are paid for by 'sponsors' who have their own agendas and the questions are biased... also i would sometimes randomly fill out samples just to meet my quotas.

Perverted?? How so?

99.999% of everything in any car ad is complete horseshit from the mind of a marketing guy who couldn't change his own tire

people die in live fire exercises quite a bit, at least way more than you'd think. I'm in canada and have many friends in CF who have only really seen it training and US bases, heard of it a couple times on CF bases but not much at all.

American troops largely model themselves after Rambo<- thats not from me but a bunch of friends from CF and British specops

Lots of gaijin here date Japanese girls.........for a little while. Nearly every one of them eventually breaks up and the usual lingering sentiments was "she was just too much of a headcase!!".

I happen to like Japanese culture. It's one of the reasons I married a Taiwanese girl instead of girl from Shanghai. I would have married a Japanese girl if I had spoken Japanese.

Being in the field of Radiology I'll let you guys know a few things.

If you ever go to get an x-ray and they say it's "state of the art equipment"

It usually means circa 1985, but there's nothing wrong with it, still very good.

Ask if a Gonad Shield can be used on lower back, abdomen, or near the sex organs.

Keep an X-Ray Record Card, That way you might not need new X-rays, the doctor could use your previous ones.

this is the best thread in mayberry, although it's fucked up my perception of the service industry

*Chiropractors are frauds, they get erections if you walk in there after a car accident

*If you steal from Linens N Things they're not going to do anything about it. Go on and return everything you stole withou a receipt and the manager will gladly give you a gift card and store credit.

*Personal trainers are worthless

*Starbucks does not keep track of how much coffee is made, it takes nothing for them to give you a free cup so if you pay with exact change and just hand the cashier your money they could just pocket it.

*You can return anything at big 5 or Linens N Things without any questions asked, even if you dont have a receipt and the item is broken.
