TMI Tuesday.....


















.
A Ms. Ginger Vitus from Colgate New Hampshire asks...
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, after numerous trips to emergency for yacking up hair balls, a specialist diagnosed me with Hairy Tongue . Is this a disease or a syndrome? And do you know of any other medical oddities that are little known"?
Dear Ginger....Indeed I do!!
.
* THE FOREIGN ACCENT SYNDROME: After a severe head injury or stroke, a person begins speaking their native language with a foreign accent. It can also happen to American Skanks that think that sounding British makes them seem classy.
.
* ALICE IN WONDERLAND SYNDROME: Vision is distorted, making objects seem much smaller than they really are. A house may seem to be the size of a shoebox, etc.
.
*KABUKI MAKE-UP SYNDROME: This birth defect causes facial features to distort, resembling the overpronounced and elongated made up faces of Japanese Kabuki actors.
.
*PRUNE-BELLY SYNDROME: An absence of abdominal muscles, gives the stomach a wrinkled, puckered look. It also cause a severe pot belly that stretches out grotesquely. ( The latter is also called The Budweiser Syndrome).
.
* JUMPING FRENCHMAN: A condition first discovered in the 19th Century among Canadian lumberjacks. Patients have EXTREME reactions to sudden noises or surprises. They flail their arms, Jump up in the air, cry, scream, and hit people. Fortunately there hasn't been a case of any Frenchman hitting anybody in 150 years!
.
* WANDERING SPLEEN: The muscles that hold the spleen in place are missing or underdeveloped causing the spleen to move about freely in the lower abdomen and pelvic region.
.
*MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE: An inherited metabolic disease that makes the urine and sweat smell like maple syrup. Mrs. Butterworth had this condition... When she lived in a Log Cabin!!
.
So Ginger....I hope this doesn't make you feel so all alone with your 'condition'.
Good question....Thanks.
All this conditioning is making Mr. Knowitall grow weary...
I bid you Adieu.....

I don't think that Budweiser Syndrome is that rare!

steveroni said...

Yeah, Mr G-Man...I have that MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE you spoke of. Bet you did not realize it is real. Really, really real.

Even when I (how's a nice way to say this???) THROW UP, the resulting odor is Maple Syrup.

BTW, I DO really drink real, really real Maple Syrup, right out of the bottle--if there are now HERSHEY BARS around.

THEN I smell like chocolate--oh well, did I hear you say, "SAVE THAT, Steve--for ANOTHER TIME, say the year 2060?"

G-Man said...

I've heard of a deadly disease known as Beer Nuts. In advanced stages it's known as Cotton Balls.

(Thanks to the late George Carlin)

Have you ever read "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for Hat" by Oliver Sacks? There are some wacky neurological syndromes out there.

Two much info or too much time on your hands. You need to study a foreign language - Latin or French.
