Revenge fitting a Jules!

Your character "Jules" could be an American living in Mexico, where he
inherits a 100 room hotel. The hotel comes with a Yiddish curse --
the owner is cursed to drop dead in every room.
But before the curse takes hold, "Jules" is striken by a hideous
intestinal parasite (poetic justice). The parasite causes all kinds
of gastro-intestinal distress, discomfort and pain to "Jules" as it
burrows beneath the mucus lining of his small intestine.
Then, as parasites do, "Jules'" parasite leaves his intestine and
heads north. When the parasite reaches "Jules'" empty skull, it dies
of starvation. Happy ending for all. Except the parasite, of course.
I hereby relinquish all rights to the above paragraph. Certain
similarities to a giant adenoid are purely coincidental.
P.S. Some other Jules, in a private post to me, made some gratuitous
rantings about spit and dribbling. Perhaps you could work these
elements in, as well.

Hi all,
Well, although not incredibly slighted by the misconduct of one Jules
Siegel, for all who were betrayed, I will be seeking revenge! And in kind,
I will be using a character in my newest story named Jules Siegel, and I
will be using some of JS's words (from posts made publicaly to this list and
from words appearing on his web page). Oh, he won't be a major character
mind you, just a minor appearing and disappearing like the Hale-Bopp Comet!
He'll probably be a nuisance.
