YOU get SSI, and YOU get SSI... and YOU, and YOU. Disability checks all around!

EDIT: Thanks for all the downvotes guys, it's good to know that humor has no place here.

To be honest, humor really doesn't have a place at HN when not accompanied by an attempt at a real contribution to the discussion.

I find that HN has time for humor, it just can't be a cheap joke. (Think: top comment on most reddit threads)

Basically any re-used joke like this Oprah thing isn't going to play well here.

Also, as someone else mentioned, it needs to add to the conversation.

Too snarky. It seemed like you wanted to raise a potential discussion point without actually committing to discussing it. Just to score cynic points.

Yeah I guess those doctors are all just lying to us. Damn you science!
