Fictional STDs

You can unfriend me, unfollow me, and unlike me; but you cannot unlick my butthole

I had a friend who had been stationed in S. Korea while enlisted in the Army. He said that part of their briefing included warnings about a Korean STD called "Black Gonorrhea". It was incurable and so virulent that if you caught it, you would not be allowed to return the US. It sounded like total bullshit to me, but he was sure it was real. Fast forward a few years, I have a new colleague who was a commissioned officer in a unit being deployed to South Korea, he told me that they do give those warnings to the enlisted men, but they pull all the officers aside and let them know it's just a scare tactic to keep them away from the hookers and brothels.
That reminds me, obviously, of the blue waffle gag. Also, there were news headlines a few years ago that the Navy and Marines in San Diego had stopped issuing base leave to sailors and marines who they thought would be headed to Tijuana, because of the high risk of norteamericanos being kidnapped and held for ransom. Comparing those stories to TUSCL reviews of Tijuana leads me to think they might have actually been trying to keep our servicemen away from HK and Adelitas.
