May the chronicle reflect that in this season of 2020, our land was beset by the Coronavirus pandemic. In the midst of such a dreadful season, laughter is useful from time to time, so I posted this amusing piece on Facebook a few days ago. (The French word couillon is an unflattering label referring to a very foolish, maybe even a stupid, person.)
Rumor says that an epidemiology lab in Acadiana today discovered a unique manifestation of the Coronavirus that’s suspected of spreading throughout South Louisiana. The researchers dubbed this strain of the virus “couillon-avirus.” It’s not suspected to be as lethal as the Coronavirus, but those afflicted with couillon-avirus may suffer from acute bouts of rank stupidity, profound foolishness, and embarrassing public behavior. What’s most dreadful is that there’s no cure: Those afflicted will never get well, but there’s a silver lining–their malady is not fatal.
Inventio!
