the clap

Among those in attendance were fellow stairwell couples Branden and Jennifer and Andrew and Amy, who taking their cue from all those nights inside Pauley Pavilion, instinctively commenced the clap.

As Mediaite points out in their coverage of the exchange, James Carville helped make #SyphilisDon a thing after weighing-in on the photo after it was taken, saying, “I’ve asked a number of MDS what medical condition manifests itself through hand sores, and the answer is immediate and unanimous: Secondary syphilis. All right. I think there’s a good chance this man has the clap, and I’m not being particularly secretive about it.”

The AP verified a video taken from a balcony near the hospital that shows the moment of impact, with the loud whizzing sound followed by a huge fireball and the clap of a massive explosion.

Eventually we heard the faint tinkle of cowbells, the clap of horses’ hooves, creaking caravan wheels, the strains of flamenco guitar, voices singing in unison.

Here, Maher explains that this is basically like getting the clap and then your doctor dies.
