DCBP > Death Caused By Paramedic

[Michael]

Very phunny stough here! Such insider-talk remids me of what a congressman said in 1898:

Some twenty years ago, as I was sitting in the House of Representatives

of the Illinois legislature, watching its closing hours, a member who had

never spoken during the entire session arose to address the House. . . .

He said: ". . . I have come to the conclusion that the making of laws is

like the making of sausages--the less you know about the process the more

you respect the result."
