DISEASE, n. Nature's endowment of medical schools. A liberal provision for the maintenance of undertakers. A means of supplying the worthy grave-worm with meat that is not too dry and tough for tunneling and stopping.
2009 Update: A condition of the psyche or corpus, in which function is diverted from its purpose such that a correction is required. Examples include wrinkles near the eyes, accumulation of adipose tissue near the stomach and uncertainty.

ReplyDeleteI am diseased. I am accumulating wrinkles at the corners of my eyes, and I have an accumulation of adipose tissue in the tummy, thigh, and bohunkus regions. I fear there is no cure except possibly denying myself chocolate and carbs. That is too high a price to pay, therefore my diseased status shall remain. I shall work to see that it does not grow larger.

dis - ease. I have experienced dis-ease many times. I hope you all have developed a way or a few ways to arm yourself against such a malaise...My best cure is a bottle of Barefoot Bubbly and a sweetheart personality nearby... xo

Take my wallet, OC. Just leave me the pictures of my dogs and my Jiffy-Lube card.
TLP, if you're well enough to pun, you're well enough to get sick.
JD, if that's sick, I don't want to be well.
Quilly, I think that's abcedetric aphasia.
Ariel, you look comfortable in the new avatar, but I recall your nose being smaller.
