There's a quote that I can't source and it may be a Terry Pratchett
line.

"Chlamydia," she thought, "Now there's a nice name for a girl."

Anyone?

Err, pretty sure it's a PTerry quote, possibly from one of the witches
novels. Unfortunately I don't remember which one.

I think it goes summat like "..thought chlamydia was a nice name for a girl
but couldn't spell it and called her <something> instead.." but ICWBW.

Carpe Jugulum, in the footnates at the end. "There'd be a Chlamydia
Weaver toddling around today if her mother hadn't hadn't suddnely
decided that Sally was easier to spell.

The footnote is from a paragraph that goes, "Besides, thoguht Agnes,
I know for a fact there's people out there called Syphiladae Wilson
and Yodel Lightly and Total Biscuit."

Ye Gods! Coherent, relevant, accurate, and even possibly useful,
information from two of the most cantankerous bastards on afp...

This may not be a record but GUCS and I will have to work hard to
restore our reputations after this..:-)

I am entirely reasonable when someone says something interesting
that isn't stupid. It's rare, but it does happen.

I doubt it will be much effort. The internet is made out of stupid,
after all.

It might discourage boyfriends.

Amongst /possible/ complications of chlamydia are infertility,
so it could be testament to avoiding that outcome.

But it'll be pretty confusing if, in the course of time, she has
to attend the sexual disease clinic. I won't elaborate here, in
case I am ever hired to write the sit com. But I'm afraid that
the Ancient Roman <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plebs_%28TV_series%29>
may have got there first.
