Sue: "I hab a bad cod...''
I was talking to a colleague around lunch time when my wife called me.
It turns out that she had tried to go to work today and lasted but a few hours before the virus she's had just laid her low and she came on home.
After our conversation ended, I turned back to a coworker.
"That was the human petri dish I married," I explained. "When it comes to fending off the odd rhinovirus, she's like France -- waving the white flag of phlegm."
My coworker looked at me coolly.
"Well," she said, "at least she has you to support her in her time of need.''
I recognize sarcasm when I hear it.
But honest to goodness, Susan's body just seems to say, "Hellooo, sailor!" to every germ and bug around.
Her sinuses are sanctuary cities for alien infections.
She had a string of such maladies our first year of marriage.
"I know I married you in sickness and health, sweetie," I said to her. "When do we get to the healthy part?"
Sue didn't miss a beat.
"I married you for richer and for poorer," she said. "When do we get to the richer part?"
She gets a little cranky when she's under the weather.

Isn't it great the way we were so intelligently designed and function so well in a world that was made just for us? Or maybe the Intelligent Designer is The Great Practical Joker and thought he'd throw in a myriad of disease organisms just to watch us in our discomfort.

NO, actually she's funnier. Got your just desserts, did you?
Glad to see that you removed that jerk's post from 5:16 PM, 10/10/07.
It was way too personal.
Sorry I missed it. What did it say ray/margaret?Now I am curious.
It would give some kind of credence to the nonsense to say what it said. It was a cheap shot, is what it was.
