Cliches

When I was little, my father owned a book of diseases.  I don't know why he had it, especially since it would not help him with the farm.  It contained no advice on caring for sick goats or ridding the land of jimsonweed.  The dark black and white pictures were grotesquely fascinating.

Cliches are my anthrax.
