Boards Studying Ruins Everything

Here I am just driving down the road, enjoying a nice spring day, when I see this:



Then, before I can help myself, I'm all:  Hearing Loss!  Blueberry Muffin Syndrome!  CD8 deficiency!

In my defense, that license plate does say "rubella," right?

I still find medical abbreviations in license plates on a regular basis. Someone in my apartment building is DRE. Hee hee hee. (Yes, I am a mature adult.)

Dr. G- Haha, hurts so good!

SD- If only he knew what the medical professionals of the world were thinking!

Meagan- I clearly don't get out enough, because I did see the "Bella" part, but only with the "Ru-" in front of it :(

CM- See, it's not just me! Those people totally have "rubella" as a license plate!

Hahahaha - Rubella.

Speaking of finding weird medical terms in odd places... have you ever seen the commercials for the... hmm, I forget the real name, but it's like, "Universal Technical Institute" or something. And they go by their initials. Every time I see that commercial I think, "What is wrong with their marketing team?!?!" But... maybe dudes who want their degrees in automotive engineering or whatever aren't that familiar with feminine infections?

Yeah, I totally thought Twilight...CD8 deficiency?

Pooba- I had done a practice test the day before that said that a baby that had gotten his MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) and subsequently developed rubella. The question was asking why that happened and the answer was that the baby had a CD8 deficiency (the type of T cells that help with immunity by fighting off nasty viruses and such)!
