Quarantine

During the month of July 2009, Paul Tolton was put into home quarantine for four days for suspected H1N1 (swine flu). He was later officially diagnosed with a mild case of dandruff.

During his enforced incarceration he became “stir crazy”, a condition referring to a prisoner who becomes mentally unbalanced because of prolonged confinement.

However, he managed to write a spasmodic diary which he wrote on toilet paper with blood which is odd as there were a couple of pens in the next room. Here are some excerpts.

“I have named my socks but now I can’t take them off because they could get mixed up and I won’t know which one is Beatrice and which one is Ralf.”

“Eggs are my friends.”

“It is lonely. I am alone. It’s like the Blair Wich (sic) Project but with more colour and slightly better cinematography.”

“My hand towels are talking about me behind my back.”

“פאס, בערבית יהודית מרוקאית. מטרת הסיפור היא להשמיץ את היטלר וסגנו גבלס על-ידי סיפור ששייך לסוגת”

“Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours. Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine. Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.”

“Finally, my hair is happy.”
