People Crave The World To Know Their name, But...

Fame’s the game these days.

People want the world to know their name. Heck, they’ll even go on TV and eat maggots and bull’s balls so people will know it.

To have their name published in some gossip magazine or some entertainment guide would be a dream come true.

Well, I’ll tell you the one place you don’t want your name published and that’s a Medical Journal. Cause if it is it that means they found a new disease…and that new diease they found...they found in you.

Take Lou Gehrig:

His name is known the world over, merely for beng an exceptional baseball player, not for something that requires talent like eating bull’s balls, but it’s known.

His name, however, is more widely known for a new disease they discovered in him, known in non-medical layman’s terms as:

Lou Gehrig’s Disease

You may want, desire, lust for your name to be known worldwide but not when it precedes the word “disease.” This I assure…

…so, be careful what you wish for.
