BLUE-ber-RIES! CHE-ee-ee-RIES!” When I was kid I had no idea what psoriasis is. I thought it was like dandruff or something. Today, I see psoriasis ads almost daily (in 40 years we haven’t come up with a cure for this?) only now there’s full color, close up photos of it. The heartbreak part finally makes sense. And I’m cracking up (no pun intended) about the hemorrhoid one. That’s exactly the way it was said, in a dramatic voice with . . . pauses to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. ---
