Chapter IV - Dyspepsia. ... No sooner had Johnny crossed the threshold of the tray dump area leading into the cafeteria when his knees buckled and he fell to the floor grasping and scratching at his esophagus and projectile vomiting towards the table where the most popular kids sat.
The last thing Johnny could remember before waking up in the health room was catching a strong whiff of coleslaw, falling to the ground, and Murf yelling "Be careful not to pull his finger!" as a crowd gathered to gawk and chuckle while Johnny puked.
The next thing Johnny remembered was waking up in the health room with Mr. Smiley, the only male Health Room nurse in the Continental United States, in attendance.
"What are you doing?", asked Johnny
"Why I am taking your pulse.", replied Mr. Smiley.
"You've grown into quite a healthy young boy", Mr. Smiley commented as he was zipping up Johnny's pants.
"Here is your hall pass, now call me if you ever want to come over to see my swimming pool and snow-cone machine."
