Matt Byerly Syndrome
The Matt Byerly Syndrome (From here on, MBS) is a psychological illness that usually affects children in schools, but can branch out to other people as well. MBS is a illness that causes just one symptom but has already led to many broken hearts. No known cure exists although many household remedies can help speed up the progress. Overall, MBS is just another flu virus waiting to erupt and take over the nation.

Symptoms

The only known symptom of MBS is a failure to be called on with a hand raised. Although this seems minor and too benign to be noted an illness, those who think this are sadly mistaken. Prolonged exposure to having your hand raised is the number two cause of hand cramps, second only to prolonged episodes of writing. When i young school boy makes his way to his first day of school MBS remains a high concern.

Theoretical Testing shows that rapid exposure to MBS attacks may lead to permanent loss of motion to the Extensor Policis Brevis Muscles (Muscles located in the wrist area). This permanent damage can leave the wrist disabled from motion making certain activities, such as drinking a cold pop (soda), impossible.

Treatment

Sadly, no sure fire method exists to end a MBS attack. A few methods unapproved by the FDA do exist though. One method popularized by kindergarten students involves shaking your hand rapidly back and forth, somehow ending the MBS attack. Also, saying "I have a question." or "Pick me! Pick me!" seems to work magic in resolving a MBS attack. Beware this can result in unwanted timeouts or even more serious punishment if the teacher frowns upon such behavior. It is a rumor that a medicinal cream schedule for release in 2010 will contain so called "Super-Reflective Glitter Particles" that once applied to the hand will attract the attention of the teacher ending an episode of MBS.
