As far as I know, this is original. I first sent this as a memo
to a friend at work.

Re: Family Medical History
My supervisor told me you would like an explanation of the
hereditary diseases plaguing my family. I hope you find this of
interest.
My family suffers from a variety of inherited eating disorders.
The two most common afflictions are:
1. FATAREXIA NERVOSA: The fear of not being fat enough.
You weigh 400 lbs., look in the mirror and cry, "My God! I'm
wasting away!, I'm just not fat enough Quick! The twinkies!!" --
Almost all of my relatives are fatarexics.
I am not fatarexic, I suffer from a rarer eating disorder:
2. The AMNESIAC BULEMIC SYNDROME: I binge and then forget to
purge afterwards.
For example, after eating half a cow, a 10lb. bag of potatoes,
three cases of devil dogs, two gallons of Yoo-hoo and a bowl of
jello (there's always room for jello) -- a typical
breakfast, I sit down, dazed, staring at my fingers, looking
towards the bathroom.
I say to myself, "I know there's something I should be doing now,
what is it?" After several minutes in a state of confusion, I
give up and call Domino's (they may be reactionary chauvanist
pigs, but they take VISA).
I hope this information proves to be of use. By the way,
the Weight Watchers class you recommended is right down the block
from a great pizzeria...
