I think ridiculously bruised is what he means - they did let him go home from the VA last night, so.
(Also, paramedics who took the word of a 75 year old man who just got run over that he didn't need to go to the hospital, thanks bunches.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Well, unless someone is unconscious or not in possession of his faculties, I don't think EMTs are allowed to force someone to go to the hospital.

No, but I don't think "you need to go to the hospital sir" would be out of line. Though I'll accept that it was probably marginal in this case.

Ha ha, we're the stress twins. My dad is doing the "chest pain or acid reflux?" dance and my sister is trying to avoid going on diabetes medication. I hope your dad makes it to the doctor today.
I need to go browse vacation deals or something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am, as ever, reminded of the time I had to tell coworkers that they couldn't use the phrase "my box" in the title of a curriculum for teen girls.
Or the time my big boss at the looniversity presented her proposal for a program to be called the Faculty Advisory Program.

In NS, were working though license plates in the form AAA-000. They recently got to the F's. While they didn't issue any with the letter sequence FAG, they were not savvy enough to also hold back on FAP.

Observe my ignorance--what is FAP? Other than a sound effect?

Fap = commonly-used onomatopoeic representation of the sound of male masturbation. For ex: the big leak of stolen nude pics of celebrities was called "The Fappening"

(At least I managed to say with a straight face that the name might be an issue because internet slang without reflecting on the truly fappy nature of another advisory committee when we already had several.)
