PS (the Palestinian Syndrome

This note might be very offensive, so if you are sensitive do NOT read it:

This is true, really, there is a new disease, its for real, this disease is called, the Palestinian Syndrome, if you arent sure if you have it it or not, read this:

Palestinain Syndrome has too many symptoms, and can actually be confused with many other diseases, one important test that can really help you find out who has it, is the Cafeteria Table test:

1. Sit away, real far from everybody, notice people as they come in.

2. look for the case you want to study, he/she has to be alone, without their friends, in case they came with a group of people, then try to get more people with you to do the test.(normally the ratio should be equal or more than 1:1).

3. Approach the table slowly, (and if you are with a group choose the one who will speak before you start moving)

4. In a low voice, with hesitation, say that this table, this place is yours, try to sound very gentle, and still very shy.

5. do NOT say that you always sit here, on the contrary, say that you were sitting here like 10 minutes ago, and you would feel really comfortable if you were to sit in this place. if you face a refusal, try your best to insist, but still in a very gentle way.

6. If the Person/People moved to another place, then the result is positive (i.e. they have it), otherwise, move to the next step.

7. If they choose to stay, grab a chair, preferably if you are with people who are helping you, and sit down, act as if nothing is wrong, act NORMALLY, chat with the people with you, or order coffee or food, you can also act as if you are reading a newspaper or a book. Wait for 10 minutes, if he/she remains there then they are definetly clean, otherwise, if they show signs of anger, AND leave then they have it.

how bad do they have it??

Always check where the patient heads to after they leave, if they just leave the whole place this would be called PS class A, if they go to another table, and start bitching about it, this would be called PS Class 2B (the most dangerous)Other details are also relevant, for example, if you wait at the occupied table, the patient might return back after a while, or try returning back, they never do it directly, they would start demanding the so called "right of return".Patients with highest chance of surviving the disease are those who use violence, other than that, it is a very hopeLESS case.
