People Are _______

Two years ago El Klutzo suffered a severe near-case of  pneumonia. His doctor ordered him to suck on a cough drop during his classes. For reasons unknown El Klutzo decided to suck on one corner of the cough drop until it was sharpend to a pinnacle. He then proceeded to poke his finger repeatedly with the sharp edible object. After a short period of time blood began to ooze out of his finger. El Klutzo began to pierce the air with blood-curdling screams. Oddly enough, his blood did not curdle but continued oozing. His classmates laughed, he got reprimended and the day was finished.
 The next year El Klutzo was once again enjoying cough drops. His classmate Aradan reminded of that fatal day. El Klutzo denied the possibility of history repeating itself. He claimed it was a "freak accident". To prove his point he began poking himself repeatedly with the cough drop. Unsurprisingly he started to bleed. He looked sheepishly at his finger while his classmates roared with laughter.
Tune in next year to hear the same story...again.
