Circumcision: $4.00

 

A little too much information :baiting:

 

Yep, most definitely TMI! :grin:

 

I thought TMI was in Pennsylvania?

 

So, how would you translate that from the bill? Cut & Paste?

If it wasn't :censored:by NGC, then it has to be okay. Geez, I can think of a lot worse things I hear come out of the mouths of 10-year olds on a daily basis.

Just givin' you a hard time :)

 

Won't happen! I always consider the source. :whee:

 

Victor is another story, though. He wasn't born that way. The nurse dropped him, and the doctor thought it was a pick-up soccer game.

Great Contest Chris!! Give my reward to some kid, I already have to many Sac's sitting around the house!!

 

I still haven't heard from stinky, bsshog and HiHo.

 

Per Schatzy's instructions, is there a kid here under 65 who would like the MS67 for their Registry Set?

That was a day when Bethesda was really a suburb! Today, it's a traffic nightmare!

 

Adjusted for inflation that $89.13 is equivalent to $864.03 today. I am willing to bet that not only it would cost more than $864.03 today, but you and your mom would spend only 3 days in the hospital!

My son was born at Suburban in 1972, and if my memory serves me correctly, the bill was about $1,400.

That was a pretty cool contest. Thanks Chris!

 

My first son was born with a broken nose, and on his second day of life the "nose doctor" stopped by, popped it back into place and left us a bill for $1000.

 

It took him two minutes. I briefly considered a career change.
