QUARANTINE

“I HATE TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS”,

SAID THE DOCTOR IN A

SAD COMPASSIONATE VOICE,  

“BUT YOU HAVE UNFORTUNATELY

BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A HIGHLY

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE,

WE WILL HAVE TO QUARANTINE YOU

AND YOU’LL ONLY BE FED 

CHEESE AND BOLOGNA.”

“THAT’S TERRIBLE!”

SAID THE DISTRAUGHT YOUNG MAN,

QUICKLY SITTING DOWN

BEFORE HE COULD FAINT.

“I DON’T KNOW IF I COULD HANDLE

BEING IN QUARANTINE…AND

THE CHEESE AND BOLOGNA DIET…

WHAT’S WITH THE CHEESE AND

BOLOGNA DIET ANYWAY?

I’VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A DIET BEFORE?!”

“IT’S NOT EXACTLY A DIET”,

RESPONDED THE DOCTOR

MATTER OF FACTLY,

“IT’S JUST THE ONLY FOOD

THAT WILL FIT UNDER THE DOOR!”
