Symptom and Symptom

Girls, boys, and the gender-free, one of my favorite pastimes is to explore medical diagnoses online. At times it's kind of like watching a liar in action who is open about his fraudulence, and at other times it's like listening to a highly optimistic person suggesting her theory of the universe. Either way: both fiction and comedy.

When a strange rash broke out on my wrists, I wanted to know what other symptoms I might expect. Perhaps the cause lay in an insect bite, an allergic reaction to a flour tortilla, the restructuring of memes dominant in my mind? Some suggestions from the internet included:


Here are what I can only assume are the causes for these ailments:

+ Wrist rash and Abnormal walk:
Overexposure to "The Holy Grail" while reenacting scenes from "Life of Brian."

+ Wrist rash and Abrupt watery diarrhoea:
Inability to spell various bowel movements.

+ Wrist rash and Abscessed teeth:
Vampires that held down victims with rope.
Handcuff-loving dentists.

+ Wrist rash and Absent eyebrows:
Ladies with unattractive extremities don't deserve to have expressions.

+ Wrist rash and Absenteeism in children:
The children got tired and went home. Also, they had fleas.
