Sunday Sickness
Avery Dummitt

Morbus Sabbaticus [Sunday Sickness] is a disease peculiar to church membership.

1. They symptoms vary, but it never interferes with the appetite.

2. It never lasts more than 24 hours at a time

3. No physician is ever called.

4. It always proves fatal in the end-to the soul

5. It is contagious

6. It is indicative of a worse disease-carnality

7. It passes away Sunday afternoon so that the patient can go riding in the car, go to Wal-Mart, returns in the evening by 6:00 PM and then by Monday morning is completely gone so that the patient can go to work and feel fine.
