Name that Malady!

I’ve had some kind of bug since last Wednesday. Here are my sypmtoms: chest congestion; aches & pains; hallucinations; recurring nausea; sarcasm; headache; sniffles; stuffy head; sinus congestion; tardyness; irritability; listlessness; sore throat; decreased sex drive; low-grade fevor; night terrors.

So what is it? SARS? Bejing Swine Flu? Tetris? My money’s on SHC.

Income tax time?

Winston, I really can’t help you diagnose your illness, but it does remind me of the Firesign Theater skit of a game show. It was a parody of “Beat the Clock” called “Beat The Reaper” IIRC: I’m sorry, you didn’t, beat the reaper - tell him what he has doc. You’ve got the plague…

Welcome again folks, it’s time to play, ‘Beat The Reaper!’

D@mn you, Da Toad! Scooped again!

“The excitement is contagious - and so are the Red Cross volunteers, as they wander through the crowd, pausing now and then to touch a child’s head.”

Sounds like plain old flu to me. Johnny, tell our contestant what he’s won!!

Drink lots of fluids and if you can’t break the fever - go to the doctor!

My dear, you must stay away from those hallucinogenic toads. They’ll get you every time.
