I remember when Avocado tried to kill me.  I was 15 when I first had it.  I
liked it, but less than 15 minutes later, I had troubles breathing and my
face and throat had swollen up terribly. I nearly croaked that time.  The
Doctor said it was an allergic reaction, and yet that was the first time I
had ever had it.  Does this mean that the doctor was wrong? At least I had
no reason not to believe him since I don't know that much about medicine.
Am I just wierd or what?

theory out)
