"Angela's Ashes" is a memoir written by Irish author Frank McCourt. The book is known to be filled with humor and anecdotes of McCourt's childhood.
At a certain point, Frank is hospitalized. But, due to his love of literature, he is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia. She is at the hospital too, and she has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if people stopped being people and became the disease they had. Diseases don't talk; sick people do. But not to the nurse's eyes.
