Did cost cutting play a role in heatwave deaths?
France lost nearly 20,000 people in two heat waves. one in 1983 and nearly 15000 in 2003. http://www.scielosp.org/scielo.php?scrip… >>>In addition, the response was "strongly aggravated" by the seasonal reduction of doctors, nurses and in-service hospital beds.<<< First I find it interesting that there is a seasonal change in medical service. But more importantly 13 days after the start of the heat wave is when the government decided to call back doctors and staff from their vacations and open up closed facilities. You're a medical professional on vacation at the beach. You're aware of nearly two weeks of news reporting a large number of deaths. Yet you don't return to work. I am trying to think of a reason why this might be so. Is this a result of the government trying to cut costs by partially shutting down services. Individuals on vacation would not see the need to rush back as they understood that the wards they worked in would be closed and the support staff also on vacation.

The young people go on vacation there in the summer, the government knows this and shut down the power in order to thin the herd out

Can you explain this joke to me
Can you explain this joke to me?
Rachel, Clare and Samantha haven't seen each other since High School. They rediscover each other via a reunion website and arrange to meet for lunch in a wine bar. Rachel arrives first, wearing a burgandy coloured Versace dress. She orders a bottle of chilled Chablis. Clare arrives shortly afterwards, in grey Chanel. After the required ritualised 'air' kisses ... "Mmmwa! Mmmwa!" she joins Rachel in a glass of Chablis. Then Sam walks in, wearing a faded old Barbour anorak, scruffy blue jeans and Wellington boots that have also seen better days. She too shares the wine. Rachel explains that after leaving school and graduating from Oxford in Classics, she met and married Timothy, with whom she has a beautiful daughter. Timothy is a partner in one of London 's leading law firms. They live in a 4000 sq. ft house in North London, where Susanna, the daughter, attends a drama & ballet academy. They have a second home in the hills above Monte Carlo . Clare graduated from King's College and became a Consultant Gynaecologist. Her husband, Clive, is a leading A&E Consultant. They live in Dulwich and have a second home in Florida . Sam explains that she left school at 17 and ran off with her boyfriend, Ben. They run a tropical bird park in Norfolk and grow their own vegetables. Ben can stand four parrots, side by side, on his willy. Half way down the third bottle of Chablis, several hours later, Rachel blurts out the her husband isn't Tim, he's Tom and he's a clerk for Islington Council. They live in a terraced house in Muswell Hill and keep a caravan in France . Clare, chastened and encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains that she and Clive are nurses in King's College. They live in Herne Hill and have a timeshare in Orlando . Samantha says, "Oh right, if it's confession time ... the fourth parrot has to stand on one leg." I heard crickets chirping when I read the punchline. It didn't help matters that my co-worker was grunting like a retard next to me. I am all at sea over this.

Samantha said that four parrots can stand on the erect penis of Ben. Everyone was lying, and everyone confessed their lies. Samantha felt that she had to confess too, and she then says: The fourth parrot has to stand on one leg, so the penis of Ben is just a bit too short for the fourth parrot to place his second leg, but then the penis of Ben is still huge. That's kind of the joke, that she was lying about the size of the penis of her husband, and that she then confesses, says the real truth and it is still huge.

All 3 sisters were exaggerating at the start. At the end they came clean. Sam's husband, it turned out, only had a willy that can hold 3 and a half parrots, not four. Get it?
