24. I deal with that "very serious topic" every day of my professional life...

A little bit of humor is a welcome relief from the loads of insurance bullshit and total lack of compassion from the powers that be that I deal with every single day. Try looking in the face of a patient and telling them you can't treat their cancer because they have no insurance...try arguing with insurance companies every damn day to get authorization for a procedure that a patient needs and could be the difference between them working and not, or worse still them living or not. I don't know your personal situation, and I don't claim to but judging someone off of a post on a message board is asinine.
So yeah, I got a kick out of a sarcastic post...that's not the worst thing in the world, just look around! A little humor goes a long way!
