Damn dysentery

They didn't have travel insurance, and he saw no point in risking having to pay in the event that she was resuscitated.

ArkAngel: Damn dysentery

Well played, btw.

It's been done.

I wish he had made it to the border. We could have learned what Canadian authorities do if you try to bring a dead passenger into the country.

I know they're really strict about using the HOV lanes.

What's wrong with taking her home? Why stop and wrack up $10,000 in American medical bills to have her pronounced dead?

They maybe should have asked to take a brief look and then sent him on his way.

Our system is so screwed up.

"He wasn't sure what to do, so he kept driving," Burks told the newspaper.

I don't get it. How did he get her home without someone nagging directions in his ear?

Poor old guy. Canadians (of which I'm one )have a pathological fear of the US health care system. They've been scare-mongered stories on people being charged a million dollars for a night in a US hospital so that those with a political/financial interest in the Canadian system can block any productivity changes to Canadian health care. The old guy probably was afraid he wouldn't get his wife back if he stopped at a US hospital.

New Democrats (what the US would call The Communist Party) have a special interest in never changing the health care system because they represent the unions, and the nurses union in Canada is very powerful. The Liberal Party (what Americans would call Democrats) now just do whatever the NDP tells them. Both parties lie about the US system so much that it makes the North Korea propaganda machine look like the gospel truth.

When I start talking Canadian politics on Fark, it's a sign I had too much to drink.

cryinoutloud Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad a year ago, and was floored by the cost of dieing.

the sex was the same but the dishes were piling up.

What I'm wondering is how he's going to clean all of the dirty clothes from the vacation.

He will have to buy new clothes.

is that dead jeff bridges? what movie was dead jeff bridges hanging out with clint?

puffy999: cowgirl toffee: He will have to buy new clothes.

But after being charged $100,000 for his 5 minute visit to the local hospital, he will be bankrupt!

Maybe he can get by with just getting new clean socks. If they need to be washed, he could turn them inside out and squeeze a few more days out of them.

One Bad Apple: cowgirl toffee: puffy999: cowgirl toffee: ...

Good idea. In fact I'm gonna' do that for my condoms too. That way I'll have that ribbed thing working on me for a change.

/Go to sleep on that one

Glad I could help. :P

To Tonasket from Pasco? He probably drove right past my house. I should have waved, or invited them in for coffee and...whatever a corpse needs to keep from decomposing for a couple of days.

It depends on if the corpse in question has any prior DUI convictions.

Do you have any idea how much these keyboards and monitors cost? You're bankrupting me here, kiddo! :-)

Oops. :O Maybe you could save money by buying socks. See...I have a theory on socks and saving money. :P

cryinoutloud:

I'm sorry for your loss.

Outside of that ... I didn't get the headline until I read some of the other posts, at which point I realized that there are a lot of lonely little boys on Fark who are wondering why women don't like them.

And as far as the rest of you guys ... well, thank goodness you're in the majority.

FTFA - Okanogan County sheriff's dispatchers who received the call Sunday afternoon persuaded the man to stop at the Tonasket Police Department.

....

Police have determined there was nothing suspicious in her death, Burks told the World.

The body was to be returned to Canada.


I thought he was taking her back to Canada to avoid shipping costs until I got to the end of the article. Now I get the impression the poor guy was just at a loss for what to do or else he wouldn't have called.

I feast on your craven fear; your terror feeds my power.
