neither, as vulgar opinion would have it, a type of music, a subset of settings on the color wheel, nor a fit of sorrows, recent studies have reduced BLUES to a fungal infection in the amygdala and ventromedial cortex of the human brain. The name comes to us from the great latinate physician Galen--his samples were limited to the now relatively rare AQUATIC BLUES which are, unlike most blues today, literally bluish or blue-green in color. The preferred treatment is to slowly poison the afflicted areas with strategic doses of MADNESS--despite its negative side-effects, double-blind studies show a strong liberating effect. Mind incisions may be indicated in extreme cases.
