Then he should be very interested in the second hand fart gas problem.

[Hot Rod]

Ask him how much time he prepped for the role to portray this character?

[soonerinabilene]

Whats it like working with Patrick Dempsey?

[47straight]

Ask him why wommenfolk get extra federal health research when they already live longer?

[1stTimeCaller]

ask him if, medically speaking, chicks with tattoos on their wrists are better in the sack than chicks without tattoos on their wrists.

[Hamhock]

ask him why the administration is still covering up the creation of Hurricane Katrina.

[Sooner_Bob]

Um he's only been on the job since October so I doubt he'd have an official opinion of second hand fart gas in the work place, tattoos and how they relate to your libido . . . but who knows.

[1stTimeCaller]

what exactly is his job?

all those answers should be in the Congressional Record, since I'm sure the Senate thought to ask during confirmation hearings.

[TUSooner]

Ask him if you can bum a ciggie.

He's only acting SG . . . no confirmation necessary.

Suggest new warnings like:
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: The Surgeon General has determined that cigarette smoking may cause women to look like cheap, sleazy sluts.

[Sooner_Bob]

what exactly is his job?


Depends on who you ask. In the past the position had more clout and wasn't as political as it is now so the actual authority isn't there like it once was.

Basically he's in charge of the USPHS Commissioned Corps, and unless the Assistant Secretary of Health is a CO as well the SG is usually the highest ranking officer in the CC.

He's seen as the leader in setting policy as it relates to US healthcare and public health issues. When there is an issue that is related to emergency response he's one of the go to guys for the Whitehouse and assists with any public health related response.

Can you ask him if he's ever tugged C. Everett Koop's beard?

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.

The previous SG RADM Carmona created a new policy and did away completely with beards as of 01 JAN 2008. There were a lot of unhappy campers shaving for the first time in ages.
