Calvin and Elmer

Calvin sees Elmer and asks, "What’s up?" Elmer says, "First I got tonsillitis, followed by appendicitis and pneumonia. After that I got erysipelas with hemachromatosis. Following that I got poliomyelitis and finally ended up with neuritis. Then they gave me hypodermics and inoculations." "Boy, you had quite a time." "I’ll say! I thought I’d never pull through that spelling test."
