1. Bill O'Reilly has an intestinal parasite

It is his own head.

2. i gotta a tapeworm

and i've learned a lot through my intestinal parasites support group.

the most important thing is that i no longer have to live ashamed.

4. Such things are still around.

My wife taught in rural South Carolina in 1985 - I mean REALLY rural. She picked up ring worm from the kids (which is actually a fungus, not a creature) and it was a bitch to get rid of. Our own kids got head lice at school once - that was also a bitch. These things have nothing to do with living habits - they are a fact of living.

5. urine can cure ringworm

[HopeHoops]

It was also the first year we were together, so I don't think the line, "Honey, I can cure your ringworm with a golden shower" would have gone over that well.

Just sayin'.

11. but it would have shown that you cared.

[HopeHoops]

12. Yeah, and it also could have gotten me kicked out of her apartment.

You have to wait a few years for that sort of thing.
