  2. The hospital makes its own alcohol from a still out back.
  3. The ambulances have gun racks, NASCAR bumper stickers, and beer can holders.
  4. You hear the intercom say "Paging Dr. Bubba to the OR", and 5 Drs. show up----and they're all related.
  5. Spit cups and coolers are considered standard bedside equipment.
  6. Pts. are given a choice of Coors or Budweiser with the grilled SPAM.
  7. There's a case of duct tape on the shelf next to the dressing supplies.
  8. More than 3 pts. say "I don't know how that fish lure/beer can got stuck there" on any given day in the ER.
  9. They use '67 Chevy hubcaps for bedpans.
  10. The defibrillator is a truck battery with jumper cables.
  11. There's a goat in the ER----and it's a frequent flyer.
