Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

Happy Valentine's Day! Now let's cut to the chase: Most of your couples die miserable deaths, get forced into marriage via drugs or royal proclamation, or are torn apart by jealous rage. Why are you such a cynic when it comes to love?

Answer:

This sickness doth infect
The very life-blood of our enterprise,
'Tis catching hither, even to our camp.

(1Henry IV 4.1.28-30)

Interpretation:

Oooh. Sounds like someone caught a little somethin' nasty at summer camp from one of the junior counsellors... Say no more.
