Help! I just moved houses into an area with many mosquitoes. However, I haven't been outside all week - ever since the first bump appeared on my skin. What's happening to me? Is this some weird sort of allergy?



Edit: I'm not worried about the bump. I know that that comes with mosquito bites. Why can't I bring myself to go outside? It should be an easy thing to manage.



Hint:




Why will my friend have to grow his beard out?

You're clearly




bugging out due to being bogged down by bugs in your bog causing bulges.




But I haven't figured out your diagnosis. Retrospectively, maybe you should have thought twice before going to




beg a big bag of bog bugs.

Perhaps you have been bitten




not by a mosquito but by a vampire. Traditionally, vampires (1) also bite, (2) make their victims into vampires, and (3) can't tolerate sunlight. I'd have thought it wouldn't be hard to distinguish a mosquito bite from a vampire bite, though.

Answer:




You have moved to Norway, where mosquitoes are known as stikkemygg. Therefore, you have been "stikke"'d and are stuck inside.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
