Swine Flew

Last night we ate BLTs then played Pandemic. And we totally won.

There was a woman at Trader Joe's today wearing a mask. That's the first one I've seen. My first reaction was that she's being paranoid. Then I thought, how rude, is that what she thinks of the rest of us? Then I remembered I'm coughing a lot due to the cold I've had all week. But it's just a cold so I decided she was rude and I was offended.

I'd still like to learn to cough with a little oink sound at the end, just for fun. At the same time I feel like I need a "not swine flu" sign to hang around my neck.

How do you know she wasn't wearing it because she was sick and didn't want to make others sick?

Or possibly she is a house painter and just forgot to take it off?

This disease is now officially the H1N1 flu.

If you sound out the new name: Hi Ni

I think you will see that our troubles are all behind us.

That's possible but it didn't strike me that way at the time.

ETA - if I designed it I would have said "knives".

Mis-spelled slogans flu.
