Jack P. Barnes, a rookie Auto Insurance Claims Adjuster working for State Farm of Portland OR, indefinitely associates the word "discharge" with sexually transmitted diseases or STD's.
"'Discharge... discharge... discharge", repeates Jack, as though he were evaluating a pair of dress shoes for proper fit, "...doesn't matter how many times I say it, STD's pop into my head. I thought of Chlamydia, Syphilis, and Penile Rash just now. Seriously."
We mentioned "Honorable Discharge", hoping to coax Banres' thought patterns in a new direction. The exercise had little or no positive effect. "It's useless," said Barnes, "Even though an honorable discharge is a pretty good thing, I can't stop thinking about Genital Warts. Not only that, but somehow the word 'honorable' was replaced by 'malodorous' just now in my mind. Sick."
Upon wrapping up our brief chat with Mr. Barnes, we were left to wonder how many former high school health class students have similar issues with the word "discharge". Truthfully, it's hard to hear that word at this point without picturing a horrible case of Scabies. Seriously.
