Sir, I work for a large multi national corporation in Chicago, where they understand the meaning of red tape.
After receiving a slight paper cut, I went to the first aid box for a band aid, to be told that I needed to go to the medical department to get one. No problem, off to the medical department where I fill out a medical form, sign a waiver of responsibility and make an appointment with the in house nurse to get this band aid.
After a ten minute wait, not wanting to appear completely stupid, I told the receptionist that I only had a paper cut and I was sorry if, by some mis-communication, she thought that I was there for a physical. No, she assured me, it was standard policy for a band aid. I left, cancelling the appointment of course. In the lobby below, I bought a box of band aids. Only in America! Yours, etc., 3024 North Racine, Apt Chicago. Illinois 60657. US.
