You might have high blood pressure if...
- The machine says "Flaming Death on a Stick" when the test is finished.
- The inflatable cuff around your arm pops like a cheap balloon.
- The machine displays a message directing you to the "Industrial Model" on your right.
- The entire Eastern Seaboard blacks out during the test.
- The test stops and the machine tells you to "sit quietly, remain calm, paramedics are on the way."
- The fire sprinklers over your head go off during the test.
- The machine asks if your living will is up to date.
- At the conclusion of the test a spectral cloaked and hooded figure bearing a large scythe appears in front of you. It is staring at you, slowly shaking its head.
One way to get high blood pressure is to go mountain climbing over molehills.
