Person 1: "Hey, did you hear about John?"
Person 2: "Yeah, he was fine at the party until he had a Sudden Onset of Hyper Retardism... poor fellow lost it then and there and passed away making whale noises."

Person 1: "I couldn't stop laughing after reading the word 'special assembly' and imagining a bunch of students standing in lines, staring at the sky with their heads crooked, drooling from their mouths and endlessly laughing."
Person 2: "Yeah, well, you had a Sudden Onset of Hyper Retardism. Relatable."
