Subject: A diagnosis for our disease
" GENEALOGIST'S POX "
WARNING: Very contagious to adults
SYMPTOMS:
Continual complaint as to need for names, dates, and places. Patient
has a blank expression, sometimes 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 mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents places such as
cemeteries; ruins; and remote, desolate country areas. Makes secret
night calls, hides phone bills from spouse, and mumbles to self. Has
a strange, faraway look in eyes.
NO KNOWN CURE.
TREATMENT:
Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal, but gets progressively
worse. Patient should attend genealogy workshops, subscribe to
genealogical magazines, and be given a quiet corner in the house where
he or she can be alone.
REMARKS:
The unusual nature of this disease is -- the sicker the patient gets,
the more he or she enjoys it!
