Foodlemyer Syndrome

A medical team at Johns Hopkins University has just completed a 5-year study of Foodlemyer Syndrome. This is a completely imaginary disease, whose main symptom is that the sufferer makes frequent references to non-existent diseases with absurd names such as "Foodlemyer Syndrome." In more severe cases, the patient will invent imaginary studies or papers concerning the disease, often attributing them to prestigious institutions or famous doctors.
In an unpublished paper on the disease, Sigmund Freud stated that a common tactic used by affected patients is to attribute information about the disease to deceased experts, or to unpublished studies, so that their validity could not be checked.

The Djinn

       A woman was touring a palace in India. Urgently needing a bathroom, she walked down a dark corridor and mistakenly opened a closet. Inside was an old lamp. Hoping that it would help her find the restroom, she tried to light it.
       Suddenly a Djinn appeared in a cloud of tiny dazzling lights. It announced that it would grant her three wishes. "Great," she said, "let me think a moment." The Djinn replied, "Go ahead." The lady said, "Tell me what kinds of things I can wish for." The Djinn answered, "You can wish for material things like money, jewels, cars, boats, or even palaces. You cannot wish for intangibles like health, love or wisdom."
       "I understand," said the woman, "so listen closely." The Djinn promised it would. "First," said the woman, "I want ten billion dollars." "Sorry," said the Djinn, "but you have already used up your three wishes."

An elderly man had dinner at an upscale restaurant. After he finished his wine, he went to the restroom, and then walked out through the bar. Since it was a fine night, he decided to leave his car in the parking lot and walk home. When he reached his front door, he discovered he did not have his keys, which were in the pocket of his jacket, which he had left in the restroom. After he walked back to the restaurant and retrieved his jacket, he realized he had left his hat at the table, so he went back into the dining room. When he reached his seat his wife asked, "Is something wrong? You took such a long time in there!"

At this point the bartender grabs the dog and the trainer by their collars, and pitches them both out on the street. The dog says, "Ouch! You really blew it that time!" The trainer answers, "How could I know the bartender was a Red Sox fan?"

The monks chanted "afternoon," and went off to lunch. They worked from 4 PM to 7 PM when the bell sounded once more.
By this time Brother Robertus was sure he had caught on. He stood up and intoned, "evening." Everyone else was silent. Finally, one Brother said, "Someone chanted, 'evening.' He must be a stranger."

The Chief
       The chief of American espionage has arranged to meet some key operatives at various street corners in London. He sees the first one and says, "Three tired butterflies have purple wings." The other spy replies, "The brown monkey scratched the wrong knee." Then the first agent heads off to Tripoli, as he was just ordered, and the chief is greatly relieved to learn that the Poles do not possess any nuclear weapons.
       Then he meets the second agent and says, "My aunt lost her keys in the muddy lake." The second spy answers, "The spider and the fly met on the green milk jug." So the second agent goes back to her office to send the "begin operation" message to Rome, and the chief learns that the arms shipment arrived safely in Kosovo.
       Then he finds the third spy and says, "Beware the tan bricks are falling." The third agent starts to say, "What do you mean?" but he is knocked out cold by a tan brick.

Murphy
       The CIA wants to find out how guns are being smuggled from the U.S. to the IRA in Ireland. They learn that the guns pass through the town of Crannagh, so they send Murphy there to investigate.
       Every Monday at 11 AM he phones in a coded progress report. The first Monday he reports that he has met some people he suspects are IRA members. The second Monday he reports that he has found out where the IRA meets. The third Monday he reports that he has the confidence of some confirmed IRA members, and that they will introduce him to the leaders soon. The next Monday there is no report, nor the following Monday.
       So they send Reilly to find out what happened to Murphy. When she arrives, she goes straight to the tavern, and gets friendly with the bartender. Once she feels they have bonded, she asks where she can find Murphy. "Well," says the bartender, "if it's Murphy the constable you want, you just go out to the High Road, take a left and go 4 blocks to the police station."
       Reilly describes the man she wants. The bartender says, "Ah, that sounds like Murphy the farmer. Well, you follow Bog Street down the hill to the edge of town, bear right and keep going 2 more miles."
       Reilly explains that the man she's looking for just came from America about 5 or 6 weeks before. "Oh," answers the bartender, "you want Murphy the spy."
