And people think I'm odd . . .

I think many names of diseases would be lovely names for women. Just think about it: chlamydia (beautiful, right?), jaundice (just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?), bronchitis, leukemia.

Just think about it for a second. If you didn't know that they were horrible disease and you just heard the word, they could totally pass for names.

"Hello, I'm Jaundice."

"Lovely to meet you, Jaundice. I'm Cholera and this is my sister, Ebola."

"I'm pleased to know you. Shall we go meet Influenza?"

"Yes! I hope she brought little Herpes, too."

"Me too. Herpes is just as cute as my little Diarrhea."



Oh, geez. I just broke my personal "no diarrhea jokes" rule.
