Sydrome

Here's a funny cartoon, which turns on the idea that bad excuses, like laziness, become good excuses by adding one word: syndrome.

A syndrome is:

a pattern of symptoms indicative of some disease

You don't need to know which disease necessarily. Just some disease, perhaps yet to be discovered.

Just chill.

I'm lazy
'cause I'm ill.

We're hazy
as to exactly why
but cut me slack
or I might try
a full attack
and almost die.
