A Bit Tragic, But Horrendously Funny

There have been a few times in my life where I have been very, very sick.  And by sick, I mean a temp over 103-104*.  The times I have been this sick usually corresponded to having strep throat--an illness that I would get twice yearly while I worked at an elementary school.  (Kids are disease-riddled little goobers and they LOVED to give strep to me.)  I never managed to have any great, funny experiences while I was in the death-throes of strep--I saved all of THOSE adventures for when I was hopped up on Demerol--I did find a girl who wrote about HER illness and trying to run a 5K race.  I laughed so hard that the cat looked at me funny.  Here is Allie and her blog titled Hyperbole and a Half.  Her story of the race is entitled Texas.  Be sure to look around her blog when you get there--she is one funny person.  And her illustrations are great, too.  (Read her post Things That Can Make You Feel Like an Idiot Almost Instantly, too.)
