So he calls me up to say he was just getting over hepatitis. "There is no medicine for the liver" he told me.
He got it by eating off his cousin's plate at a family picnic.
"My eyes turned yellow and my shit turned white".
I don't know what letter of hepatitis he had, but my dad got it twice by eating lobster.

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and it can be caused by a number of things such as viruses (hepatitis A-E), alcohol, or an autoimmune disease.
