Historical Discoveries: The North American MS Disease Of 1820

________________________________________________________________________________________________

There was an outbreak

that reached 

epidemic proportions

wherever there were

husbands and wives

with small

children

 

Marital Spats

were violent and dangerous 

to entire families

 

These spats

only occurred

during the dinner hour

To avoid hospitalizations,

husbands and wives

were inoculated

or wore masking tape

over their mouths

The latter was most amusing,

to their offspring

One year later,

MS

was severely on the wane

and family fun

reached an all-time high

But then there was 

a second wave

of 

Marital Spats

 

More masking tape

and more inoculations

Though nobody really knew

what was being inoculated

 

Six months later,

the second wave

was reduced

almost to naught:

 

Sunday afternoons,

miniature golf

became more popular

than alcohol

 

However, 

there was a third wave 

of MS

but it seemed to be

of a much less degree:

 

Instead of violent,

 invidious language

hurled between 

husbands and wives,

a maximum

of two tea spoons

of mashed potatoes

was hurled across

the dinner table

 

No spoon limit was applied 

to children present

at the spat

but they much preferred

to hurl peas

and string beans

 

Since the third wave of MS

resulted in much less

masking tape

and very few inoculations,

most people

thought that

there was no more

disease of

marital spatting

 

 

Meanwhile,

the Inoculato family

became the wealthiest

people on earth

 

But the smartest people

on earth

were the husbands and wives

who refused to believe

their lives were cured 

of MS

 

These people

[and their entire families]

knew that to spat

was unavoidable

 

These smart people [SP] 

acquired Acceptance

  

This product is readily available

wherever human beings 

can be found

 

The SPs  

accepted the spatiness

as momentary stains

on an otherwise

meaningful

and lasting

relationship

 

Resultingly,

The Inoculato family

did not get any richer

as far as these people 

were concerned

 

They didn't have to

Meanwhile,

the Anxieto Corporation

invested millions of dollars

to develop new fears

to collectively plant

in everybody's head.

So, keep tuned 

for further developments

Post Script

When the Inoculatos

would invite the SPs

to their estate,

the guests would invariably

defeat their hosts

at backgammon,

badminton and Monopoly

 

But rarely at tennis
