Today, I received a medical bill because my daughter thought it would be hilarious to try and fit her fist in her mouth. She succeeded in getting it in, but not in getting it out. FML
I agree, your life sucks (29418) - you totally deserved it (1869)

No, 44 was replying to 35... not trying to get their post shown

How do you know he just wasn't finding an excuse to get his post up to the top, like I am doing right now even though I don't care?
Ergh what's with everyone? #35 was very obviously replying to #1 because his comment was connected and a direct response to #1's comment. Seriously, I hate it when people reply to the first post for visibility, but it's stupid when everyone who replies to the first post is regarded as doing this. Amazingly, some people do not abuse the reply system.

actually it's not free, we pay for it through our taxes. The governments just trying to trick us ;)
#13 - On 07/20/2009 at 5:34pm by XOfiestypixie
True, but at least we don't have to pay on the spot. If you were to break down what we pay in our taxes, it's definitely a lot cheaper than what the US pays.
Not really. We have a free health care system too in the UK, and it would be cheaper to get health insurance than to pay our share of taxes to pay for this.
But regardless, I still hate the American healthcare system. It's evil.
#78 - On 07/21/2009 at 7:48am by divineinstrument
No, it wouldn't. Everything I've seen puts the cost-per-head for healthcare lower here in the UK as it is in the US, and we have a (slightly) longer life expectency, (slightly) lower infant mortality rate, and (slightly) better performance in most diseases/cancers, etc.
It's a TERRIBLY unreliable source, but nationmaster puts expenditure per capita (private and public funding combined) at $2,899.7 per person in the UK (I can confirm this; the current NHS budget is £90 billion a year. Divided by 60 million people aprox in the UK, that works out to £1500 per person per year, which is roughly $3k), and $6,096.2 per person in the USA
From the same source, "healthy" life expectency in the UK is 69.6 years, and in the USA it's 67.6 years.
Life expectency at birth: 78.85 years UK. 78.14 years USA.
So we pay $3196.5 less per year each than Americans do, but live a smidgen longer, and spend an extra two years of our life in good health than Americans do.
So really, whose system is better?
No one is debating whose system is better (if you can read). but thank you for the long post about essentially meaningless numbers.
and I call slut on the OPs daughter.

I was worried you were going to say it was stuck in a different location...THAT would have been embarrassing
OP can i have your daughter's number when she turns 18?

I moderated this one, I knew what you felt my cousin did the same thing.
#11 - On 07/20/2009 at 5:26pm by Crimson_regret
Wow. Lol watch her become president. Then at the end of the national anthum we all stick our hands in our mouths and go to the hostpitle. Take from the poor and give to the mmmmmhmm
What the fuck are you talking about #16? Spell check*
#17 - On 07/20/2009 at 5:47pm by ForTheFuckingWin
I really, really hope you're either a little kid or were just really drunk when you wrote that.

If they did, how would it help get her hand out? She'd just have a severed off hand stuck in her mouth, if that were the case. XD
awww your daughter is a smart cookie(: you must be so proud.
but I'm not gonna lie I totally tried that, but chickened out when it was 3/4 of the way in.
#25 - On 07/20/2009 at 5:58pm by danettestrong
because supposedly a woman who can fit her fist into her mouth gives really good head. That's the saying where I live, anyway.
Hmm maybe I'm just out of it, the saying where I live is that if you can fit your fist in your mouth you're a good singer...because, you know, you can raise your soft palette and stuff.
But maybe that's just cuz I'm a private school theatre geek.
You're all sick bastards. The daughter's probably like 8 or something. Stop being a bunch of pedophiles.
How did the doctors get the hand out, anyway?
She probably looks like The Joker now. The doctors put a smile on that face!

haha nice one 37 and damnn, seriously, how'd they get it out??
#41 - On 07/20/2009 at 7:17pm by isnt_it_ironic
Sounds like the baby teeth had to come out early.
And she was right - it was probably really hilarious.

This is what I love about Canada, Ya part of our taxes go to heath care but we don’t pay a dime. I spent 5 days in the hospital getting my appendix removed (it leaked so they kept me to “monitor” me) and all I got in the mail was a questionnaire from the hospital asking me to rate my stay and ask if there was anything else that could have been done.
everything in life is easier to get into than out of. that i have learned in numerous ways. haha that's funny though, a little weird, but funny.

My friend did that when she was young, I'll have to tell her she's not alone. :P
#55 - On 07/20/2009 at 9:32pm by 12frisbees
Meh that's pretty stupid of her. Over here in Canada, we can do whatever the fuck we want cause we get free healthcare BITCHEZ!!!!!

I met someone who could fit his fist into his mouth once. He's not a very good singer, and I don't know if he gives good head, it was just that his mouth was a fucking cavern.
(I bet you a bunch of people are going to try to fit their fists in their mouths once they read this FML.)
Your lucky she didn't put her fist in the
Other two holes
#83 - On 07/21/2009 at 11:59am by fallenarchangel
Poor kid. I can't fit ALL my fingers in there, how the hell do you get a fist!?
#86 - On 07/21/2009 at 12:47pm by unlucky_angel02
FYL not because your daughter did something that stupid, but because she sent the bills to you. If you're going to do that, you should be prepared to accept the consequences - including the medical bills. Send them right back to her.
#89 - On 07/21/2009 at 5:10pm by kittengrl39
I think it's safe to assume the daughter is young... maybe around 10. Young enough that her parents would still be paying the medical bill.
Logic. Use it.
Please tell me something, dimwit. You think anyone who would think its funny to fit their fists in their mouths are over 18?
Agreed with #90.
''Logic. USE IT''
#98 - On 07/22/2009 at 7:15pm by unlucky_angel02
YDI for taking her to the doctor. Take care of it yourself.
#94 - On 07/22/2009 at 12:56am by CaptainBaconMan
I CALL BULLSHIT. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE GETTING YOUR FIST INSIDE YOUR MOUTH, AND IF SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT I'M SURE SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT OUT.
#96 - On 07/22/2009 at 2:39am by biskitbukit
How the hell does a medical practictioner get a fist out of somebody's mouth? It's not like you would cut it out. Wouldn't they just have to yank it out anyway? Or would they inject them with something to make the hand go floppy and thus easier to get out?
Some people fail. I would still attempt to remove the hand from her mouth even if she reckoned it was stuck. Get someone to stomp on her foot or something at the same time so she was distracted from the pain connected to the mouth thing. Or make her sing like in 'The Sweetest Thing'!
