You’ve lost sight of the answer, I’m afraid. conjunctivitis is an old name for a neurological condition known as chorea, not to mention a song by Black Sabbath.

Beaten again. This is getting ridiculous.

It’s amazing to me how you see the connection between conjunctivitis and

Saint Valentine’s Day

just happens to be the designation for when some gangsters in Chicago were killed; don’t know if they were hated or not.

You snuck one in there! :smiley:

Are we stuck here?

Hey, wait a minute – St. Valentine was a villian in a Western, played by Lee Marvin. (with a silver-handled whip!!)

I’ll take the liberty to point out that

valance

is actually a scientific term referring to the number of chemical bonds formed by the atoms of a given element.

violence

is the largest group in the string section

I believe you mean

violin

but you are as normal incorrect and are thinking of the much larger cousin

How sad. Everyone knows that a

It’s not really poisonous, but sediment will spoil the wine’s taste. That’s why you pour it into a decontaminate

A votre sante!

That’s the spirit! Or it would be, except that decanter is (primarily) a second melody, usually pitched above, that runs counterpoint to the root melody.
