I got it without explaination! *pokes sun-star*
It's just in the UK we have the NHS where you don't pay to get a wait for 14 weeks for treatment or the free superbug infection...

Janny -

And then Satan chuckled and created foundation hospitals, patient choice and a two-tier health system

I don't get that joke either. We don't blame Gordon Brown for foundation hospitals, young man

As for the 48 hours thing, HMO's were notorious for prescribed lengths-of-stay in a hospital permitted for various conditions (primarily as a cost-cutting measure).

On the first joke - as far as Satan creating HMO's... they have just become in general the butt of jokes here in America.

A liberated couple and their young son, go to the nude beach. After a little while the boy runs up to his mother and says
"mommy, mommy, all the ladies have bigger bobbies than you"
"Well, son, the bigger, the dumber"
a little while later he runs up and says
"mommy, mommy, all the men have bigger wee-wees than daddy"
"well, son, the bigger, the dumber"
a third time he runs up and says
"mommy, mommy, daddy is talking to the DUMBEST woman you ever saw, and the more he talks to her, the DUMBER he gets."

Aack! Just caught that lefty!

A young redhead goes into the doctor's office and
says that her body hurts
wherever she touches it.
"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."
She takes her finger, pushes her elbow and screams
in agony. She then
pushes her knee and screams, and pushes her ankle
and screams.
Everywhere she touches makes her scream.
The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead, are
you?"
"No," she says, "I'm actually a blond."
"I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is
broken."

A blonde, a redhead and a brunette were sitting together in a cafe, when all of a sudden a light comes down on them from the sky and a deep voice says:
"Each of you should come forth and say why she thinks other people like her. If what she says is true, she'll go straight to Heaven. If it isn't, she'll go straight to Hell."

So the redhead comes forth; she says: "I think people like me because I'm beautiful." She gets sucked straight to Hell.
Next comes the brunette; she goes: "I think people like me because I'm kind and understanding." She gets sucked straight to Hell.
Finally, the blonde woman steps forth and says: "I think..." She gets sucked straight to Hell

A man with a heart condition won the million-dollar jackpot in lottery. All of his relatives are afraid to tell him, seeing how his heart couldn't handle the shock and all. Finally they go to a psychiatrist and ask him for advice. He said: "I'll handle it personally."
So he went to the man and asked him: "What would you do if I told you you won a million dollars?"
So the man replied: "I'd give you half a million."
The psychiatrist dropped dead from a heart attack.

Three men died and went to Heaven. The angel standing at the Pearly Gates told them: "Heaven is actually a large place and you'll need vehicles to help you get around in there. Each one of you will be given a vehicle according to how good he was on Earth. Now each of you tell me, how many years he was married and how many times he cheated on his wife."

The first man: "I was married for 50 years, and I cheated on my wife 20 times".
The Angel: "That's good! You take a Mercedes."
The second man: "I was married for 60 years, and I cheated on my wife 10 times."
The Angel: "Great! You get the BMW."
The third man: "I was married for 70 years, and I never cheated on my wife."
The Angel: "That's perfect! You get the Aston Martin."

Each one of them takes his car and they enter Heaven. They drive together for a while, when all of a sudden they see the man in the Aston Martin pull over and start to cry. They come to him and ask why he's crying so bitterly when he's got the best car around, so he said: "I just saw my wife travelling around on a skateboard!"

A married couple from Chicago decided to summer in Miami. The woman was on a business trip and the plan was for her husband to go to Miami before her and wait for her.
When he arrived at the hotel, he decided to e-mail his wife to tell her of his safe arrival. He fumbled in his pockets for the slip of paper where he had written her e-mail down. At the end he couldn't find it and decided to write down the e-mail address from memory. However, he made a mistake in just one letter and the e-mail ended up being sent to the wife of a priest whose husband had just died the previous day. The poor woman dropped down dead when she received the e-mail. When her son came and found her dead, he looked at the computer screen and here's what he found:
Dearest wife,
Just arrived today. I'm awaiting your arrival tomorrow.
Lovingly,
Your husband

P.S. It's really hot in here!

How many Marxists does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, Comrade! It is the system that needs changing!
