Bedridden for the past two weeks, an overdose of "Lox & Chitlins" administered heavy-handedly by chiropractor Conn Nugent induced repeated vomiting. Doctors called in prescribed second-hand ridicule of institutions, elaborate diction, convoluted sentence structure, redundancy and random scoffing, but The Harvard Lampoon grew increasingly incoherent and seemed to lose touch with humanity. Specialists flew in from as far afield as Michigan and Rhode Island, and succeeded in alleviating the patient's suffering in its last hours.
