Ambulances start charging extra for obese patients

[Siffaliss]

Ok SO if we charge by the pound, what about the skinny old granny thats 80 lbs soaking wet .... does she get billed less ?

Yea Siffalass, human rights and political correctness aside nothing more uncomfortable that a 400 pounder behemoth sitting next to you on that long flight.

Is it still called R2D2 ?

cheers

On the ambulance with an 80 pound granny, our backs get a reprieve. Plus we don't have to use additional resources for little granny. On an airplane, granny pays for and gets one seat. If she chooses to wear 17 gem sweaters to keep warm and fill out the rest of the seat, well good for granny. If someone takes up more than one seat because Baconator is their best friend and the one they turn to when they're happy/sad/mad/having an MI, and infringe upon my comfort zone (ie. don't touch my butt with your butt unless I ask you to), well then they can pay for the extra space. Better yet, give me part of my ticket price back! I like my rights too
