Bloggorreah !
"Doctor, doctor, something is troubling me”
The doc wasn’t perturbed. He knew what this guy was going to tell him.
“I am not able to blog! When I sit before the comp, I go blank. My hands shiver, my fingers go numb and I just stare at the screen!”
“Hmm, this is a chronic case of Blogstipation..” The doc diagnosed immediately.
Doc: How many times do you blog in a day?
Patient: Twice a day and if possible, thrice too!
The doc makes a note of it. - Irritable Blogwell Syndrome.”
Doc: When did you experience these symptoms before?
Patient: Two years back, when I started blogging, I was tempted to participate in the blogathan and I got...errr…bloghorreah..
Doc: Bloghorreah? That would have been pretty bad…how many times?
Patient: Around 5 blogs a day and I had to copy and paste some blogs. How stupid of me. I acted like a blogopotamus! The blurkers and commentariats encouraged me to blog every day.Then I became a blogroach and at this stage I had this habit of…pcchttt….don’t tell anyone…blogging in my head before I dozed off. Someone suggested my visiting a bloggologist and he said I have bloghorreah and if it isn’t treated, I would get hitnosis and splog as well!
Doc: What did he prescribe that time? I should know your history before I start any treatment! The doctor was bloggerghasted.
The doc thought to himself “My, My, this Barking Moonbat needs a long-term treatment..
This chronic case was going to be a challenge for him!
Patient: He told me to stick on to plogs, blawgs and klogs three times a day, and he said he would get me weaned from this blogistan addiction. But he never told me that it would have side effects like blogstipation and now I am here before you!
The patient looked hopefully at the doc.
“Can I blog again..tell me..please….to blog or not to blog is my question….Can you cure me, Doc?
