****warning**** Genealogy Pox Warning Genealogy Pox is very contagious to adults! SYMPTOMS 1. Continual complaint as to need for names, dates and places. 2. Patient has blank expression and is sometimes deaf to spouse and children. 3. Has no taste for work of any kind except feverishly looking through records at the library. 4. Has compulsion to write letters. 5. Swears at the postman when he arrives empty handed. 6. Makes secret calls at night. 7. Hides telephone bills and bank statements from spouse. 8. Frequents strange places such as cemeteries, ruins and remote desolate country places. 9. The patient mumbles to himself and has a strange far away look in his eyes. TREATMENT Medication is useless Disease is not fatal but grows progressively worse Patient should attend genealogy workshops, subscribe to Ancestry and be given a quiet corner in the house in which to work. REMARKS The unusual nature of this disease is the sicker the patient gets the more he/she enjoys it. THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE !
