So, it seems the mumps have made a comeback (god damned hipsters and their stupid fascination with retro everything) and I've got them.  I guess the inoculation I got in elementary school wasn't enough.  Damn it, if I'm going to get an old timey disease, I want the vapours or consumption, not mumps.

Mumps in adults can lead to some serious complications, including meningitis. Take care of yourself.

That would be Mono(nucleosis), not Mumps. Also not good to get as an Adult.

Well, Lisa was the one who got the mumps and Homer didn't call her an "old dog" :P

That's the spirit SDR. Don't let them mumps get you down. Could be worse, you could have the 'humps' disease. You kinda get that one by kissing.  :-"
