The Plague of Quiddler

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
though both may cause


  • Weakness



  • Severe headache

  • And a general ill feeling



  • The difference is, the Bubonic plague is rarely spread from person to person. While this one can't seem to stop.

    Bunions & Snoring Husbands.

    Somebody told me nobody wanted to hear about bunions & snoring husbands... see here.
    but I can't get them off my mind!!
    I mean, bunions. They are these localized areas of enlargement of the inner portion of the joint at the base of the big toe. The toe becomes directed toward the smaller toes.
    And in all this talk about bunions..
    I can't help but wonder if Paul Bunyan had bunions?
    I mean, it can't be easy on the feet being a lumberjack and all.
    Maybe someone with bad spelling named the bunion after him?
    Maybe he was from Wagener.
    Some studies report that bunions occur nearly 10 times more frequently in women then men.
    So I doubt Paul had any... but it's still a possibility.
    Maybe his wife had some. Mrs. Bunyan.
    Simply resting the foot by avoiding excessive walking can often relieve the irritating pain of bunions.
    So... maybe I should get bunions?
    On to the next topic:
    Snoring Husbands.
    I mean, I dont have a husband to be annoyed by. But I can tell you, I never will. I can't even handle my dad snoring in the next room, yet alone a man in the same bed. I hear all these awful stories about these snoring husbands. Mrs. Jackie goes on about Mr. Doug waking himself up. Mimi about Papa and his machine. And Mom, well she has worse things to complain about when Dad's sleeping. Because snoring means he's asleep, as opposed to awake from a nightmare. That's where the real trouble is.
    So when it comes down to it, Bunions or Snoring Husbands,
    I think I'll stick with bunions.
