Three Whales :

I was in a bar the other night and overheard three very hefty women talking.

Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked, "Hello, ladies are you three lassiee from Scotland ?"

One of them angrily screeched, "It's Wales, you bloody idiot, Wales!"

So I apologized and replied, "I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotiand ?"

And that's the last thing I remember.

2 Not Reversible

I woke up the next day, and I could not see through my left eye. I thought I had conjunctivitis, explains Walters. Desperate, she went to the hospital several times during a month. Finally, they told her that she had suffered an infection called cat scratch, a condition that occurs when one of these pets goes through human bacteria carried through saliva or fur Infection.

In the worst cases, it can stay in the liver, producing the collapse of the blood vessels of the eye or create meningitis. The condition is irreversible.

3 Disease May Be Transmitted Easily
