Genealogy Pox is VERY CONTAGIOUS
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 a compulsion to write letters. Swears at
mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents strange places such as
cemeteries, ruins, and remote desolate country areas. Makes secret night
calls and hides phone bills from spouse.
Mumbles to self. Has strange, faraway look in eyes. NO KNOWN CURE
TREATMENT: Medication is useless. This 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 that the sicker the patient
gets, the more he or she enjoys it.
