DIAGNOSIS

flu.jpg

This is intended to be metaphorical. It's not, like, a photo or whatnot. I had to attend two meetings yesterday, and much of my effort was devoted to not projectiling various bodily essences into the proceedings. Worser than the meetings was the trip between them, wolfing down a McDonald's "hamburger" while the driver chain-smoked clove cigarettes. In meeting #2, the occasional sharp report of my forehead hitting the conference table kept me alert, more or less. Thank god nothing of consequence ever happens during meetings, or I'd be in trouble.

This is one of the best things ever. Talk about your flu shots.

Only a cunning linguist could have written a post like this.

Sorry about that. Watch out, though. This flu will come around and smack you a couple of times just about when you think you're getting better.

Felicity! Agh!
One should not have to ride in the car with people who are smoking. This is beyond the call of duty for regular work-for-pay arrangements.

Eeewww. You express the misery of the flu so well. I hope you're better soon.

I was feeling a little better, but now the fat naked guy has the flu too.

Yeah, sorry about that! See, taciturn readers are not so bad...

I love this depiction of the flu. You ought to see whether some department of public health might want to buy it from you for their flu shot campaign next season. Or I can share the URL with a couple of my contacts up here in Ontariariaro where we have free universal flu shots. I wouldn't even take a cut.
