And some PO etiquette rules

ETIQUETTE

Because Poison Oak is one of the worst afflictions mankind must suffer, there must be rules of etiquette for dealing with it.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD POISON OAK:

* You may not joke about it.

* You cannot say, "Don't you know what it looks like?"

* You may not offer your advice on how to treat it.

* You must show nothing but sympathy, and if it is feigned it must seem genuine.

* Absolutely no smirking!

* You are not allowed to intimate that the person who has Poison Oak deserved it, or is afflicted due to incompetence on their part.

IF YOU ARE IMMUNE:

* All the above rules apply to you.

* You may never boast of your immunity, and especially never touch poison oak to demonstrate your immunity. I heard of a man who ate a poison oak leaf to show off. This is a justifiable motive for homicide.

* If you cannot follow the above guidelines, please kill yourself now.

IF YOU HAVE HAD POISON OAK:

* You must show sympathy, and tell anecdotes about how bad you had it.

* You may joke and laugh, as long as you make it known that you feel very deep sorrow at the affliction.

* Feel free to imply that all immune people should be exterminated off the face of the earth.
