During the evenings conversation my wife mentioned that her father built the Sydney Opera House and he is now President of carpenters union in Windsor. The guy said BS his father is the President of the carpenters union in Windsor. After 5 minutes of heated arguing it turned out that they were both right - his father was president of the finishing carpenters union in Windsor and my wife's father was the president of the framing carpenters union in Windsor.

My neighbor and I were discussing this. He went in to his general practitioner for an insect bite because he’s allergic to certain venoms. When he was being treated, they opened a new 1-ounce tube of 1% hydrocortisone and put a dab of it on the bite area, but when he went home, they didn’t give him the tube.
His after-care instructions included application of 1% hydrocortisone for the next couple of weeks, so on the way home, he bought a 1-ounce tube of it from a drug store/pharmacy. Now about ten or twelve days later, the doctor’s bill has come in. The portion of it that was not covered by insurance is asking him to pay more than $37 for “hospital-grade” 1% hydrocortisone in a 1-ounce tube. The drug store/pharmacy charged just over $5 plus tax for the exact same thing. He called the doctor’s office, they said he was supposed to have been given the tube that they opened, but if he really didn’t... less

But then a large black woman got in front of us and let everybody know that we were with her. There were people all around us getting their heads bashed in but my brother and I didn't notice because we were too busy arguing which one of us the woman's daughter was digging on. So I don't think we were thinking with the head that was on top of our shoulders. Cheers! less

Someone was taken to the hospital with a heart condition, but it had nothing to do with being trampled. So, once again, in a rush to judgment, this phony story was made into a cause celebre on here.
"Fox News Contributor Admits to Creating Fake Story About Canadian Woman Being ‘Trampled’ to Death"
The Fox News contributor and frequent Sean Hannity enlisted field reporter added that “someone was taken to a hospital with a heart condition - not due to trampling. I want to clarify this again and apologize for any confusion.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/fox-news-contributor-admits-creating-003133239.html less
