KR needs the opinions of the LL faithful on the following Ethical dilemma:

In this article, KR found out about Nike's new wake-up call service that allows you to get wake-up calls from A-rod, Maria Sharapova, Justin Gaitlin, Amare Stoudamire and some other athletes from sports that don't really matter.

Here is the link to the Nike website where you can take advantage of this feature.


So here comes the dilemma: Is it wrong for KR to set-up  4:30 AM wake-up calls for his buddy from Maria Sharapova for the next 6 calendar days?

Here is the evidence:
For:
KR knows that said buddy would have done the exact same had he found the program first.
What better way is there to wake up than to Maria Sharapova's voice?
You can turn your cell phone off over night

Against: 4:30 is damn early especially for a dude who lives walking distance from 3 bars.

Opinions?


PS. If you are gonna pull the same stunt on a buddy, enter your e-mail address and their phone number, not their e-mail address or it will send an e-mail to them asking if they want the wake up call and all is lost. Ya gotta click the confirmation link to finalize the wake-up.
Now accepting new patients. All bills must be paid in scotch shortly after any services rendered.  Sorry TDT, no problems below the waist.

KR,

RT needs to noodle on that one. In addition, RT has would like to know what would be the best way to dump $240,000 in a strip club in one night. Is that possible??

Admit has a few ideas as to how to spend 240 large in an establishment like that- however, that would involve Admit admitting the fact that he has been in such establishments.  As a teacher, admit can't allow such degradation to his character, so admit will remain silent.

JT's familiar with this club.  The place is notorious for unathorized charges.  It has ties to the mob.  The women are all 8's, 9's, and 10's.  Very easy to get crazy.  Two customers from out-of-town wanted to go there.  JT dropped $2,500, asking for a receipt each time.  At the end of the night the club handed a final credit card tab of $3,200.  JT had to sit down with a manager and show them the error of their ways.

Next quote to the customer JT added $2,500 plus 30% for JT.  Now that's how to entertain customers  8)

Today's Rant...

Who are these people at work who are ALWAYS sick?? Every day is something different... sinuses, strep throat, allergies, migranes. And the worst part is these cats never stop talking about how sick they are.

Rant Continued...

People who try to beat the system. Gro's last job he was a supervisor for about 70 hourly workers. That's where Gro learned the wonders of FMLA (the family medical leave act). The intent of FMLA is to let people who encounter sever medical issues (their own or immediate fam) 12 weeks of unpaid, excused time off per rolling 12 months without it affecting their job status.

Example #1: Ma dukes is sick, gotta take her to the doctors erry thursday. Granted.

Example #2: I have migranes, some schmuck doctor writes me a letter saying I can't operate equipment during said migrane, I leave work whenever I "feel one coming on". Granted.

stoopid doctors will write a letter for anything... and you wonder why health care costs are rising!

Reno just set up 5 calls! Tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM a barrage of wake up calls from Maria Sharapova will ravage the Country!

Bobby takes Gramma Bouchers advise on staying healthy, ones blood alcohol level must be maintained @ 0.02 at all times to fight off germs.  Seriously, Gramma is going to be 86 in may and is showing no serious signs of being sick.  Never has a bad day, much less a cold.....

Grammas secret?  - A shot of single malt scotch - McCallans 18 yr old is a must.



A double is recommended when in the company of small children...

Knightstalkers father taught KS that as soon as you think you are getting an upset stomach or the hershey squirts head straight for the Blackberry brandy, polish style (won't try to spell jezknowyaka or whatever it is)  KS also believes in the whiskey is good for you school of preventive medicine. 

Knightstalker proposes that LLPP hire Bobby Boucher Gramma as medical advisor, KS also thinks that all LLPP members and quests should start drinking a shot of whiskey every night from this point forward.  Also to make up for lost time everyone should drink at least one fifth of whiskey this weekend.

Knightstalker gets migranes that are triggered by MSG and Aspartame.  KS thinks Gro should tell migrane man to go to his doctor and get a prescription for imitrex or another migrane medication.  If you feel the migrane coming on and take the medication or about five Tylenol ES and wear ear plugs or headphone like hearing protection they will be fine.

What is worse is the people who are really sick and they come to work spewing fluids and germs everywhere and infect everyone else.  Stay the F home for a day or two, that is why they give you the damn sickdays.

Admit shared this tidbit with fellow teachers to rave reviews- therapy session scheduled at Legion during happy hour.  Also shared with his medical student ladyfriend to not so rave reviews- ass-chewing session scheduled after happy hour.

RE SICK PEOPLE-
How is it that the SAME PEOPLE are ALWAYS SICK!?!?!?!
I mean typically a body says...."Hey after I get over this cold, I should build up my immune system as to not get sick again."  How is it the same people are always complaining and sniffling and wiping their nose then wanting to shake my hand or cough all over the change they are about to hand me or sneeze on the back of my freaking neck.

RE: People who come to work and spread the germs
Believe me, we will not miss you if you take a day off and get better.  I would much rather have one guy out of work, then for you to come in spreading your nasty sickness to 4 other people aznd take them out for 4 days.  It was cool back in kindergarden to have "perfect attendance" but in the real world do me and everyone else a favor and take a day off when anything other the some flaky boogers are coming out of your nose.

Reg is a HUGE germophobe....so much so that it bothers him to be around anyone that is sick....but once you lock him in any confined space with said offender, that person becomes dead to me for a long, long while.

I remember one time Enginegro was sick from spring of sophmore year to fall of senior year.

Yeah but wasn't that the Hi 5?

Gro usually gets sick once a year, really sick. One time Gro was out in saratoga w/ LD and krazy crazy and started feeling bad... by the time Gro got home he had a 104 fever. But that's it. One bad fever and the rest of the year I'm good.

But... one year, like reg said... Gro was sick FOREVER. It was like the entire football season and beyond. The snot flowed like wine. It was gross.

JT

JT usually gets one or two colds a year, and gets over them pretty quickly.  The only time they are bad seems to be just after an airplane flight.

JT solved the main problem of diseased people using his phone by using a headset only.  JT disabled the handset.

Knightstalker

Knightstalker is like Gro, really sick once a year, usually around december.  Knightstalker usually gets a cold during the summer that inevitably turns into bronchitis.  The last two summers Stalkers doctor prescribed good old fashioned Pennicillin in the horse pill size when stalker got the cold.  This knocked the bronchitis out as soon as it started.  Knightstalker has a good doctor that actually takes time to listen and talk to his patients, worth the wait.

Admit should tell first year medical student lady friend that Admit's second year medical buddy from long before he met lady friend disagrees with her.


Alcohol in moderation (1-2 drinks a day) decreases your blood pressure, lowers your risk of heart disease, decreases your risk of depression and anxiety, can prevent rheumatoid arthritis, and makes you a lot more fun to be around.

Unfortunately, the same benefits are not found from merely averaging a beer or two a day by drinking 14 on the weekend.

As the LL's only medical student member, I hereby prescribe what Grammy Boucher has known for years: ALL LLPP members shal from this day forth consume the equivalent of one-two drinks (a shot, a beer, or glass of wine =1drink) nightly from this point forward until advised to the contrary.

I'm off to have half my daily allowance.
