DOCTORS FIND NEW DISEASE!
WARNING!
Doctors have discovered a new disease that is very contagious to adults
..They have named it Genealogy Pox.
SYMPTOMS: Patient continually complains of a need for names, dates, and
places. Patient has a blank expression on his face, and often seems deaf
to mate and children. Has no taste for work of any kind, except for
feverishly looking through records, libraries, and courthouse. Has
compulsion to write letters and spends hours sitting at a computer.
Swears at mailman when he doesn't leave mail or threatens to kick
computer if there is no e-mail. Frequents strange places such as
cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate country areas. Makes secret night
calls and hides the phone bills from mate. Patient mumbles to self and
has a strange faraway look in his eyes. Has a strange compulsion to
gather and scatter old papers all over the house, leaving piles of
paper everywhere with strange numbers and names all over them.
TREATMENT: No known cure. Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal,
but gets progressively worse. Disease is spreading throughout the
country very fast, quickly becoming an epidemic. Patient should attend
genealogy meetings, workshops, subscribe to genealogical magazines, and
be given lots more forms and a computer situated in a quiet corner of
the house where he or she can be alone. If family supports patient
through this, patient will occasionally come out of strange trance and
will act normal again unless you drive by a cemetery or courthouse.
REMARKS:The unusual nature of this disease is such that the more sick
the patient becomes, the more he or she seems to enjoy it sometimes
dancing with glee and yelling, "I found it!"
