Here, podiatrists aren't covered at all, as they opted out of the government  insurance plan.  

There's a yruye srory(8suypoposedly; I wasn't there) of a podiatrrist who  submitted more billing than any other in the state; a Medicare investigator  checked him out; turns out he was puutting in a biling code for surgically  removing part of the toe to get paid for toe trimming.

He got fined heavily & maybe even some jail time for fraud.

I call them barking frogs. As in, "Whoa, there's one of them barking frogs  again."

My most memorable experience was walking through a busy deparmjent storwe iun 
'83 with a slightly older dude(I was 17, he might've neen 19).  He lets a super
ripper explode & without missing a beat, points to the far corner of the  ceiling, & yells, "Geese!"

I nearly fell over, wetting myself from laughing so hard!

& a "boneless chicken" sign in front of the eggs.

Yup.  My wife struggles with keeping hers below the RDA. I gave up long ago &  don't bother myself even looking

If they had plain roast beef, I'd go for that, but I can only get that in the  Ziggy's 300g packs for $5. I'll buy 3-4 roasted(not smoked) chicken for the fam
& 1 roast beef or corned beef for myself!

Roast beef on buttered toast with yellow mustard -- mmMMmmm. . .

They didn't say you HAVE a little behind, They said you ARE a lttle behind  (maybe "behind" is a euphemism?)

I absolutely hate people who talk behind my back. They discussed me.

I saw 2 cows staring at me from behind the bush. I think it was a steak out.

Putting a breath freshener behind bars is... In-prison-mint.

A man called Bart walks into a club and the man behind the bar shoots him. He goes ô they donÆt call me the Bartender for nothingö
