Answers:
If you answered “yes” to 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14 then you have the flu.
If you answered “yes” to 5, 9, 10, 13, 14 then you are possessed by Pazuzu, Demon King of the Winds.
If you answered “yes” to ALL OF THE ABOVE then you are possessed by Pazuzu AND you have the flu. Oh, man! You probably got it from Pazuzu. Demons are notorious germ-carriers. Luckily, the treatment is the same for both maladies: confinement to bed, plenty of fluids (sacred and otherwise), and a constant, urgent appeal to God to save your soul.
And remember, prevention is preferable to cure. Eat fruits and vegetables, get plenty of rest, go to mass, drink water, and don’t play with the Ouija board. Playing with the Ouija board is like licking a hand railing on the subway. You’re just asking for trouble.
