I was pretty freaked out and surprised by this since I've only had 2 cavities my whole life. So, six months later we decide to go to a local dentist. It turns out that I dont have any cavities and my wife only has 3. Apparently, the mexican dentist saw dollar signs when he saw an american with insurance walk in the door.

Believe it or not, dental fraud/scams happens in the good ol' U.S. as well.

LOL, even i know that 18 cavities means you either brush your teeth like twice a week or you havn't been to a dentist in 20 years.

Cool thread guys... Pretty informative stuff. I know one guy mentioned he worked in a porn store. Well like he said, most chicks that come through get the smaller scale toys... And also if you ever want to totally humiliate someone, go buy a John Holmes replica, and beat the shit out of them with it... (things seriously like 10 lbs...)

Everywhere I've been they're up everyone's asses to contribute to UW & to use DD.

More than just "hey this may be a neat thing to do" they're into it like they (personally) get a piece of the savings or something.
I can't imagine these lowly lower-rung manager schlubs get anything.

They sure aren't so gung ho for the Muscular Dystrophy 5K run etc or for conserving office supplies/not blowing through thou$and$ in copier paper etc etc so it isn't just "company spirit."

Anyone have the same experience or know why they take it so personally that everyone get on board w/ the United Way & the direct deposit things?

Believe it or not....direct deposit is awesome. You usually get it at midnight the night before and no need to make a run to the bank. Plus, if you get paid on a Friday, and you want to take the weekend off and head out of town on Thursday....your money is in the bank. I just signed up for it a few weeks ago and now I wonder why I hadn't done it before.

Engineering studies is much easier if you have many close friends because everybody helps their fellow students.

I hope universities clamp down on the rife cheating going on.

What country are you from?
