Annoying monkeys have been sweeping the nation. They have appeared in numerous homes across the United States, as well as some parts of Canada and Turkey. This epidemic has zoologists on their feet, as well as the government. This reporter managed to get inside one of the homes inflicted by AMS (Annoying Monkey Syndrome) to report the symptoms as well as causes of AMS.
AMS is something that afflicts only older brothers between the ages of 10 and 25. The first sign is the picking on of younger siblings, most often, younger sisters. It will start innocently enough, but as AMS progresses the inflicted gets steadily worse. Eating rudely, farting inappropriately, and random annoying actions are the final and most pronounced signs of AMS. Parents and siblings should take immediate action once they have realized what is going on. If not, this condition may become even more serious and develop into TEMD (Totally Evil Monkey Disease) which would affect even more of his life, as well as those around him.
Fortunately, there is a cure for both AMS and TEMD. Growing Up. This wonderful new treatment has helped change numerous lives of both those with AMS as well as those living with them. One of the mot interesting things of this cure is that there is no specific time it occurs. It happens usually later than wanted, but it gets the job done. The only thing that is not stable about the cure is the fact that there have been several relapses. These relapses occur at any time, so those who have recovered from AMS must be on the lookout.
AMS can be a severe hindrance in many lives. The cure is not stable as of yet, but there is the potential of it staying strong. Epidemics come and go, and hopefully this one will as well. If it stays around for longer than any think possible, more action may take place to end it. How this will be accomplished will be discussed by politicians, teachers, parents, as well as many other concerned mobs with fire and pitchforks. Thankfully, more people are becoming aware of AMS, which will make the number infected soar, but will help remove AMS from this country even faster.
