	On Saturday Night Live a while back (the cast before the current cast),
Dr. Tim used to discuss new and little known diseases as part of the SNL news.
I was modestly inspired to perpetuate this strain of humor one day and just
recently dug up an old text file containing my babblings. Now that you're all
riveted to your seats in anxious anticipation, here's what I came up with:

	In recent discussions on today's serious diseases, one of the most
serious has been neglected: anneurisms. Although it is more properly catagorized
as an event (like a heart attack) than a disease, there are many variations
which many people not be aware of:

	* People at sporting events frequently suffer from Fanneurisms.
	* Baseball fans in particular have Stan-the-manneurisms.
	* People from Southern California have Tanneurisms while
	* people from New Jersey have Rosanne-rosannadanneurisms.
	* Buddhist monks often have Yin-Yanneurisms and
	* overweight people suffer from Fat-in-the-canneurisms.
	* On the highway, people get Vanneurisms but
	* truckers uniquely suffer from Carrivanneurisms.
	* Japanese movie fans have Rodanneurisms.
	* Much of the middle class suffer from Suburbanneurisms.
	* Woman most often have Manneurisms while
	* men usually have Womanneurisms.

Hey, I never said they were funny...if anyone would like to add more *funny*
diseases or even new anneurisms, go right ahead.
