I work in the student health office at a college. A student wanders in.
Student: “I’ve got a question. Do I need to get the shot for the weasel disease?”
Front Desk: “I can’t… The… What?”
Student: “‘Cause my brother just got a shot for it, and I don’t know if I had it.”
Front Desk: *Long pause* “Do you mean the flu shot?”
Student: “No, the weasel rash.”
My boss finally intervenes.
Boss: “Can I ask — how old is your brother?”
Student: “He’s four.”
Boss: “Do you mean measles?“
Student: “Do I?”
The student was satisfied when we helped him determine that he had all his childhood vaccines AND that there really was no disease called “weasel bumps”.
