While influenza, also known as the &#8220;flu,&#8221;<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t necessarily brought about because of the oh-co-chilly weather, 9<br \/>\nout of 10 doctors do agree that the dreadful virus seems to enjoy the<br \/>\nchilly willy times. Those cold months when all the rosy-cheeked minions<br \/>\nof the world shuffle from their pathetic jobs to their pathetic<br \/>\ngameshows every day, nipples erect, breath frosting in the air, legs<br \/>\nunshaved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In temperate regions,&#8221; says Doctor Martin D. Williamsburg, &#8220;that is,<br \/>\nregions possessing a temperature, the peak circulation is among the<br \/>\n22-34 year old housewives. Roughly 4.1 million copies are printed<br \/>\nweekly and mailed out. For the flu virus, the peak circulation is in<br \/>\nthe winter months. But don&#8217;t be fooled by supposed vitality &#8211; the flu<br \/>\nis with us year around. And it can kill! To learn how not to die<br \/>\nhorribly like in &#8216;The Stand,&#8217; you&#8217;ll want to subscribe to our<br \/>\nnewsletter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing is that the flu is a constant specter near the<br \/>\nequator. The equator is an imaginary line drawn by Sir Richard de la<br \/>\nBlau in 1403. It represents the course of the Moon&#8217;s shadow across the<br \/>\nface of the Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Williamsburg, nude except for his trademark fishing hat, had much to<br \/>\nsay about influenza&#8217;s enduring presence in tropical areas, &#8220;In the<br \/>\ntropics, flu can be seen year round. Let&#8217;s assume the Earth is a globe.<br \/>\nIn the middle of this globe, one can see outbreaks of the flu at any<br \/>\ntime of day or night. But, most especially, Tuesday nights. Now, on<br \/>\neither side of the middle, you get the flu mostly in the winter. Go<br \/>\nfigure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Flu experts keep up with the virus as it travels around the world. You<br \/>\ncan often see them speeding along the flat highways of the American<br \/>\ninterior and, if you&#8217;re a hardcore traveler, outside of Ronks,<br \/>\nPennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>These experts have put forth claims which are often controversial and<br \/>\nalways declared false by the Catholic Church. For example, some experts<br \/>\nhave claimed that humidity, temperature, and people spending more time<br \/>\nindoors contribute to the spread of wintertime flu.<\/p>\n<p>The official stand of the Catholic Church, however, is that the flu is spread by sin.<\/p>\n<p>The flu, as is known by all who fear God, is a social disease.<\/p>\n<p>Flu Virus A is spread by pre-marital sex. Symptoms include a fever,<br \/>\ngastric disturbance and a bizarre and inexplicable feeling of guilt on<br \/>\nthe part of the female participant.<\/p>\n<p>Flu Virus B is spread by the practice of so-called &#8220;safe&#8221; sex. That is,<br \/>\nsex where the true power of God and the miracle of procreation among<br \/>\ntwo married individuals is cruelly arrested by Satanic barriers such as<br \/>\ncondoms, the birth control pill, and pulling it out at the last minute<br \/>\nthen running to the window. Symptoms include, in addition to other<br \/>\nthings, the knowledge that baby Jesus has frowned upon you.<\/p>\n<p>Flu Virus C is found in the domain of the sodomites. To them, Humanity<br \/>\nis but a cheap tool to be used for their perverted desires. The<br \/>\nSodomites &#8211; the Painted Men &#8211; are beyond the pale of Satanic barbarism.<br \/>\nThey live in caves in the wilderness, coming into our cities to corrupt<br \/>\nour young altar boys. They not only tax our nation&#8217;s welfare system,<br \/>\nbut they spread their insidious literary ideas amongst our youth. This<br \/>\nserves no other purpose but to turn our streets into havens for<br \/>\nwandering gangs of finger-snapping, lyrically inclined sodomaniacs.<\/p>\n<p>May God have mercy on their souls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[352],"tags":[353],"class_list":["post-2486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gsarchive","tag-gs-archive-2004-2008"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2486"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2815,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486\/revisions\/2815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
