One for johnfkent:
“1. Why would you want to get scurvy?
There are as many reasons for getting scurvy as there are people with scurvy. Some have been personally wronged by citrus fruit or the Florida Orange Growers association. Some treat it as a religious experience, believing that God is anti-fruit (see Psalm 78:47, Mark 11:12-14, and Genesis 4:2-5, for examples of God’s strong anti-fruit sentiment, as well as the site God Hates Figs) and using scurvy as a means of getting closer to God. Many of us find scurvy beautiful. Some of us are fans of pirates, or have pirate ancestors, and wish to better connect to our inner corsairs. Some of us got into scurvy via Atkins or the South Beach diet. And some of us just don’t like fruit. It’s stinky, squishy, makes you have to go to the bathroom more often, and really stings if it gets in your eye.”
