Even as a student I remember bunking all my sports classes and march past practices. I had invented  a 'rare' disease which I used in my swimming classes and even got a doctor to write a prescription!  I would get an allergy when I would come in contact with water and sunlight. I hope the advancement in science probably would have found a cure for this deadly disease by now.  It wasn't till a recent party where my obvious paunch was a little too obvious and encouraged a particularly drunk lady to point it out. " Well, such things happen at your age, she said." such thin
