Quote of the Whenever: Deathbed Edition

Posted on October 29, 2004 @ 1:52 pm

Cameron: “I’m dying.”
Ferris: “You’re not dying, you just can’t think of anything good to do.”

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, 1986

It’s day three of my ongoing cold and flu-like symptoms, and I still feel like death warmed over in a cheap, generic Tupperware dish. Meanwhile, the staff veterinarian here at Apropos of Something (a/k/a my wife) just reminded me that I don’t look so hot either. I wonder if this is karmic retribution for the half-ton of flu vaccine I stashed away six months ago when I heard there might be a shortage…

    Oh! You have some, too?

    I seem to remember one other episode where you had mysterious flu-like symptoms, along with a veritable drug cocktail to keep you moving….

    Has anyone ever written a thesis on the genius of Ferris Bueller? If not, someone should.

    By the way, I sent your link to the vaccine police.

    Becky: That explains why the people from the CDC showed up at my door half an hour ago. Thanks a lot! ;)

    Teedz: That’s odd…I don’t have any memory of that. ;)
