| Herbs and a banana can cure AIDS? |
| 2007-06-19 |
| The president of Gambia can cure AIDS, but just on Thursdays, the only day when his healing powers work. The cure includes applying a green sludge to the skin of the patient, sprinkling a mystery liquid, having the patient swig a brown broth, and topping it all off with a banana snack. Whirling about the patient and uttering verses from the Koran are also part of the treatment. Verses from the Koran. Knock me down with a feather. President Yahya Jammeh says this treatment, with its seven secret herbs, can cure AIDS "with absolute certainty" if patients meet two requirements: 1) abstaining from alcohol, tea, coffee, sex, and theft during the multiweek course of treatment, and 2) ceasing to take antiviral medications. So far no one has come back to complain that it didn't work for them. |

| #10 Please forgive the off-color commentary. Jam a banana into the appropriate orifice and AIDS isn't a problem. However sick it might seem, AIDS is essentially the same behavioral modification measure that venereal disease represented during the nineteenth century. Sleep around all you want, just be sure to have paid up your burial fees in advance. As a man who is totally disgusted by infidelity, it's really difficult for me to summon much sympathy regarding the vast majority of promiscuous shitheads who acquire and disseminate this lethal disease. Welcome to Hell, assholes. |

| #4 Of course, bananas can cure AIDs, or at the very least, prevent it, if used for safe sex purposes. Didn't see that coming, did you? |
