Boy: "I've just had the most awful time. First I got angina pectoris, then arteriosclerosis. Just as I was recovering, I got psoriasis. They gave me hypodermics, and to top it all, tonsillitis was followed by appendectomy."
Friend: "Wow! How did you pull through?"
Boy: "I don't know. Toughest spelling test I ever had!"
