Butt What If I've Got a Ticket to Asspen?
Air Canada's medical form includes a diagram of how doctors can calculate the width of a patient's behind.Cheeky me sure wouldn't want to be left behind!

I know "it's not brain surgery" is an old joke, but....
seriously? They need to tell doctors how to measure the width of someone's ass? (I suppose this has to do with the new ruling about plane seats)

Obviously it's a tushy subject.
And for those who favor fixing health care here by following the Canadian model, there's this quote from the article:
“Most people, for a non-acute medical condition, would have to wait weeks or months before they can see a doctor,” Sharma said. “In my clinic right now the waiting time is approximately one year.”
I wonder what falls under the definition of "non-acute".

This is a policy with a definite crack in it.
Dave, I've friends and (distant) relatives in Canada, and the definition of "non-acute" appears to be anything just short of arterial hemorrhaging.

Representatives from the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) aren’t so sure.
Lard have mercy.

So, its now official. Air Canada is the most anal airline in the world.

You think al-Qaida is bad news? My wife is the least belligerent person I know and I don't have the stones to put a ruler up to her ass. You're on your own, Doc.

Sounds like a bum deal if you "ass" me.
