Oh yeah, and I'm suffering from a milder variant of influenza at the moment.
abbreviated version
Ebenezer Scrooge, a smart businessman, employed bob cratchit. bob cratchit was irresponsible and lived beyond his means. Cratchit made constant demands for more money from scrooge and instead of pulling himself up by his bootstraps.
three ghosts visited scrooge and using marxist-lenninist propaganda, frightened him into giving a raise to cratchit, thus fueling the inflationary spiral.
Aw, poor thing!
