Self Immolation...
I've been very lucky, and only needed to see the Doc on my own behalf a couple of times in the last 20 years. Last time, however, shortly after the "foot and mouth" epidemic in the UK, I managed to cause some amusement by catching "hand, foot and mouth" disease, which is usually a childhood disease and apparently unrelated except in name.

It cleared up in a few days. I worry, however, that the number of people suggesting I should throw myself into a pit of burning railway sleepers may not be a good sign.
