A Case of the Happies

When the eye doctor told Kevin a list of all the side effects of having Lasik, he did not specify that Kevin would experience the Happies. This is a rare side effect associated with very few surgeries in which the patient is extremely excited and happy before, during, and after the surgical procedure (unrelated to any drug intake whatsoever). Similar symptoms of giddiness, pure joy, and optimism may also occur. Warning: these are contagious to individuals not associated with the surgery. The Happies can negatively affect these other individuals and cause irritation, annoyance, and at worst cases, extreme panic from worry associated with the patient being too happy and careless with his eyeballs. Warning: even nagging has no negative effect on the Happies. This may cause additional panic in the non-surgery individual, but try not to get hysterical. Based on past experiments, nagging is a powerful tool. Never give up.
