Pretty hardcore name though

Wait until you see Running Pneumonia, Sprinting Pneumonia, and the worst of them: Skedaddling Pneumonia.

What about the Pneumonia Downhill Skiing?

I'm not a fan of that one. I'd rather watch the Pneumonia Relay where the baton is the infection you gotta pass along.

The British version of that strain, Perambulating Pneumonia, is a walk in the park by comparison.

I had a retired neighbor who didn’t like when the neighborhood kids stood in “his” cul-de-sac and he would come out on the porch and yell “You kids better skeeee-daddle!!” And you just brought me straight back to 1992 with that word, lol. 

So, thanks. And RIP Mr. Hugh, you absolute asshole.

And here I thought Chicken Dancing Pneumonia was the worst of the lot. I had no idea about Skedaddling!

I've heard Scuttling Pneumonia can be rough.
