      In the very near future an IDF spokesman in on MSNBC…

      Spokesman: “A minor - very minor - number of soldiers are experiencing skin rashes.”

      Anchor: “There have been reports that the skin condition could be described as boils.”

      Spokesman: “A boil is an inflamed pus-filled swelling on the skin. Swelling is present and there’s a pus-like substance.” He scratches himself. “But they are not boils.” He scratches himself again.

      Anchor: "You appear to be scratching yourself. "

      Spokesman: “I am not. And if I am - it was a psychosomatic reflex. Nothing more.” He scratches himself again.

      Anchor: “Do you have a skin ra—”

      Frogs start raining down inside the studio where the spokesman is. The feed is cut.
