....is a collective group of sympathy pukers. I saw the majority of the class this afternoon after lunch when one classmate threw up (he's a FF and is pretty good at puking on command...it's ALMOST impressive, really ) but once his class saw it, I had several vomit (because who wants to puke alone??) and then naturally it became the focus of all of the conversations which led to more sensitive stomachs turning over causing MORE vomiting...I even had a student tell me "I just threw up!! The whole class is throwing up. There MUST be an illness going around!!" You're right my friend. Its called "I-have-what-he-has-itis" and it happens when friends don't let friends puke alone!!
I believe that this is a day dream scenario from Stephen King's The Body, which was made into the movie Stand By Me. Gordie is a writer and they ask him to tell a story while on their adventure and this is the story he tells.
I remember that when I saw this at the movies I was laughing so hard I wasn't able to catch my breath. Reading S Kings narrative was just as funny, if not more!
