Speaking EngRish causes SARS!

[Taro Toporific]

The English disease
If we all spoke Japanese, Sars might not be half such a problem. Tuesday January 20, 2004 / The Guardian
...Dr Inouye devised a simple theory about a vexing public health problem. Her theory is this: the English language, when spoken by someone who normally speaks the Chinese language, can be lethal. Dr Inouye recently drove her train of logic through the pages of the medical journal the Lancet....
Here are the details of Dr Inouye's reasoning. They are subtle. They are breathtaking. They should perhaps be read silently.
· The disease called Sars seems to have originated in China....
· SOME American visitors (about 70 out of 2,300,000) got the disease, but NO Japanese visitors did.
· There must be a reason for that.
· The reason must be: language. In both Chinese and English, many sounds have a strong accompanying exhalation of breath - but Japanese has no such sounds...

In my case I believe it. I'm always spitting and slobbering and blowing and sucking. My mouth is a fucking wet-vac! I'm always sitting around with my mouth open like some dumbass Georgia retard waiting for the germs to enter. I'm not saying I got it but if you got it I'll get and if I got it you got it. Get it?


You're probably glad we only talk in cyber space, aren't you?

Well I wonder if she can secure government grant money to explore this theory to it's (il)logical conclusion?

"Say it don't spray it!!"

Could it be the Japanese don't like the taste of Civet cat?

Personally it is just so hard to find just the right wine to accompany a Civet Cat dish...

I wonder about other languages (take !Kung for example), but, most of all, I wonder how she got her phD.

The dumb fuck didnt mention that AIDS has been covered up in Japan for ages and that there well may be japanese SARS carriers in Japan as we speak...pardon the pun!

I'm going to assume that you're talking about the nation of Georgia....

As a state of Georgia resident, I can assure that my fellow Georgians are a rather intelligent and well-spoken lot.

There's just something bewitching about a tempered, Southern lilt...
