Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 3-2-2007(32): He had a curious form of measles : the red marks on his skin were all in the shape of an umbrella. The doctors of course couldn't explain it…

2) [chibimizuno] 6-8-2009(5): I'm sick with the measles. Whenever I go out, I carry my parasol to try and cover up the rash.

3) [dancingblade] 19-8-2010(2): A: "Hey, its a fine day today, why are you hiding under that parasol?" B: "Don't come near me! I'm sick with the measles. It spreads with parasol transmission!" A: "Are you sure it wasn't 'aerosol'?" B: "…" (cough).

4) [Meconium] 17-2-2010(2): While Bruce Lee was nervously waiting for his check-up (#1724 診) at the doctor's surgery, the caveman, who was suffering from the measles, coughed all over Bruce. He tried to prevent the infectious microdroplets from reaching him by opening his umbrella against the spray with lightning-fast reflexes. Unfortunately though, despite his quick response, Bruce inhaled some droplets accidentally, and knowing his fate, sat down next to the caveman for quick treatment.

5) [mantixen] 27-7-2009(2): After his check-up (#1724 診), the monk was told he had the measles, probably from his measly attire given the weather conditions.
