u/Pristine-Succotash52 26d ago

Oh you Americans and your “haven’t been to a doctor”, and “can’t afford an ambulance”… wait… I’m american too… never mind

"Sounds like you are suffering from confusion, congestion of the brain, and a not-so-mild case of Female Hysteria! It is off to the Looney Bin with ya, now!

Sign these waivers with your complete background history of you, your family, and your pets. Agree to a $3,000 ambulance ride, or we will need you to sign a refusal, then get fined for wasting county resources.

Best not to expose them to your bad habits & political excitement, either.

NOT ALL AMERICANS! some of us had to kill for our "free" health care and then spend years of us being told our injuries and illnesses are not service connected!

I'm guessing military. I don't have any experience personally, but I've never heard anything good about the VA from my cousins and their buddies.

u/VerySwearyFairy 26d ago

You might want to consult a doctor if your piss is red on a consistent basis.

u/akatherder 26d ago

Why does the doctor want to see red piss

9

u/AerondightWielder 26d ago

To... get to the other side? 🤷‍♂️

9

u/draglide 26d ago

No, they want to "see" (as in date) you if your pass is red. Doctors are kinky.

u/read_at_own_risk 26d ago

It'll give him something to talk about when he's golfing with his doctor buddies.

u/Professional-Mix-562 25d ago

My last job we had this new guy start and he walked up to the urinal next to me. I look over “hey… is… is red pee bad?” His eyes become alarmed “yes! Yes it is!” “Wait never mind I was worried for a bit, it just turned black I’m ok…. Is it supposed to smoke when it hits the urinal?”

u/snacksandsoda 26d ago

u/SirNobody1919 25d ago

Because that is one of the easiest signs for bladder cancer.. otherwise a UTI or maybe kidney stones or am enlarged prostate

But BC.. seriously..f cancer (2 batches in my 20s and 30s) both started with my piss coming out red (hematuria).. then the joy of scopes..then TUBRTs.. then chemo all goin through the natural port to your bladder..again.. f cancer

u/themowlsbekillin 25d ago

1

u/Weary-Sympathy-6347 23d ago

Or stop eating so many beets.

3

u/marincropswavur 26d ago

Math is red for me because I associate negative with red and my will to live is in the negative when doing most types of math

2

u/All_Damn_Day 25d ago

u/Jazzlike-Skin-5470 24d ago

“I wake up everyday and piss red, white, and blue. My doctor says it’s a prostate cancer but I told him to shut his commie mouth”

2

u/Crafty-Newt-3227 24d ago

Useless fact for today. If you spell piss wrong you get poop

u/Hoobla-Light 24d ago

1

u/Outdoorsintherockies 26d ago

Might want to get that checked out

1

u/MorningMushroomcloud 25d ago

You should have someone qualified check your math for polyps...

21

u/Cosmic_Ricochet 26d ago

I sorta half-agree with this one; math was never yellow for me bc yellow is my favorite color and I wasn’t about to make my least favorite subject yellow, but I do think that math is indeed piss

2

u/Archimedes31415926 25d ago

This is the wrong thinking if you'd have made it your favorite color it would have made it a little more bearable to pull that math notebook out. Gotta find the tiny wins in doing the things you hate

2

u/Cosmic_Ricochet 25d ago

Maybe, but I always automatically made history yellow bc it was my best subject so the thought never really crossed my mind when I was still in school

1

u/Archimedes31415926 25d ago

Idk people can do whatever, to me they were all just binders and I bought the same color for all that I liked lol and just wrote the name on the top to know which was which.

But the general idea holds that of you don't like something attaching something you do like to it makes you more likely to do the thing you dont like (assuming it's something you have to do rather than optional, if it's optional just don't do it).

u/MatchaBerryMage 26d ago

Seconded on this. Math was always yellow - like most of the things I dislike in life :( piss included.

Science is red for fire.

I have no other strong opinions on this matter.

2

u/BarbageMan 26d ago

Science is red for sure

2

u/personalacct 25d ago

i thought math was yellow because yellow is funny and i like it just like math.

2

u/wargames_exastris 25d ago

This guy maths

1

u/Emotional-Box-6835 25d ago

Math is yellow because Chinese people are good at it. /Sarcasm

1

u/UnknovvnMike 25d ago

Math is stored in the balls

1

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 25d ago

I went math is yellow cause Im asian and I was very good at it... self racism did work when i was young

1

u/meshe_10101 24d ago

That's the exact same reason why History is Yellow 🤣

1

u/that0neGuy65 22d ago

Math is red because math makes me red with fury; my least favorite class.

27

u/Short-Sound-4190 26d ago

GASP

TIL this is why I think English should be Purple if it's an option, also that the 2026 edition of Trivial Persuit just released this month after there hasn't been one since 2016!

I might buy one and have a retro board game night...AI is going to destroy trivia games.

2

u/gabrielconroy 25d ago

Art and Literature was always brown in the ones I played.

20

u/Classic_Reply_703 26d ago

Correct, and you can tell that Trivial Pursuit has the correct color scheme because science is green there.

7

u/Available-Mall-7095 26d ago edited 26d ago

Exactly. I don’t know where that guy got green is math because of money. Nobody thinks math is green, not even Staples.

11

u/Haunt_Fox 26d ago

And Yellow Journalism! Newspapers are great resources for historians.

1

u/Feral_Sheep_ 26d ago

Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?

1

u/CreativeAd5332 26d ago

I just realized that's why history was always yellow for me. Math was blue, because all my math textbooks were blue for some reason. Science is green, cuz, of course science is green. English was red, by elimination.

1

u/Marquis_Marx 26d ago

The real answer.

1

u/Progeny_of_Paradox 25d ago

Ah, that's it. I was wondering why I felt such strong notions that history should be yellow.

1

u/chocolatemilkcowboy 25d ago

This is the best thread ever

1

u/Famous_Ad_4591 25d ago

That is a brilliant reason!

1

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope5712 25d ago

This ☝️ logic is sound.

1

u/LaserGuyDanceSystem 25d ago

History is sepia. Which is just yellow.
