The following has been "travelling" across Canada!!! Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> ---------------------- Thought you all might find this would tickle the funny bone!! GENEALOGY POX Very contagious to adults. Symptoms: A continual complaint as to the need for names, dates and places. Patient has blank expression, often deaf to spouse and children. Has no taste for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at libraries and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters, swears at the mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents strange places such as cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate areas. Makes secret night calls. Hides phone bill from spouse. Mumbles to self and has a far away look in eyes. NO KNOWN CURE.... Treatment: Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal but gets progressively worse. Patient should attend genealogy meetings, subscribe to a magazine and be given a quiet corner in the house where they can be alone. The usual nature of this disease is that the sicker the patient gets the more they enjoy it!
