Subject: BS: Unusual award From: Bert Date: 03 Dec 11 - 06:26 PM I was at Walgreens the other day getting a prescription. There was a large poster advertising "Award Winning Flu Shot Service" It kinda got me wondering how they decide who gets these awards. Do they have a line of patients bend over and drop their pants, then throw syringes at the bare bums. Oops missed! Is that why they call archery targets butts? Do they stick targets on them? And when they get a hit, do they yell Bullseye! or maybe Hole in One? |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Jim Dixon Date: 03 Dec 11 - 07:51 PM You don't get flu shots in your butt. At least they don't do it that way in my part of the world. I've gotten flu shots many times myself, and often seen it done to others in a rather public setting, and they always put it in the arm. I know that doesn't answer the question of where the award comes from, though, or how you qualify for one. I'm picturing an event something like a rodeo.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Rapparee Date: 03 Dec 11 - 08:55 PM Well, Walgreen's charges you to get shot. Maybe the "highest price" award? |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Gurney Date: 03 Dec 11 - 11:51 PM Witty, Bert, but originally they used barrel ends as archery targets. Barrel, Butt Tun, just different sizes. You knew that, didn't you! |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 04 Dec 11 - 12:39 PM Apparently it was the National Influenza Vaccine Summit which gave them the Award. It seems it was for reaching many people with their campaign, educating them about the dangers of 'flu and organising vaccination widely. Quite commendable really. I had swine 'flu last January, and it was ghastly, so I've had the jab this time. I urge anyone eligible to have it, as the 'flu left me in a bad state, weak and debilitated for literally months. |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Stringsinger Date: 04 Dec 11 - 02:15 PM When the US comes to its senses and has National Health Care like every other civilized society in the world, they won't have to give awards |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Rapparee Date: 04 Dec 11 - 02:18 PM I get shot every year, even with the Swine Flu stuff back in the '70s, and I haven't been given any award. I want an award. I wannit, I wannit! I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue! (But only if it includes a large, tax-free, cash prize.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: gnu Date: 04 Dec 11 - 02:47 PM I'll give you the prize... turn blue first. |

Subject: RE: BS: Unusual award From: Bert Date: 04 Dec 11 - 05:12 PM I didn't know that Gurney. Thanks. Well said Stringsinger. Then people who have worked all of their lives wont have to be on an Indigent Care Program when they retire. |
