Diarrhea less humorous when it kills people
The diarrhea song is known the world over to send children into bales of laughter. Well, perhaps not the whole world over.

"When it's just killed your sister/And you're really going to miss her/Diarrhea, diarrhea," the boy sings quietly. More information at DigToilets.org.
