When I thought that I only had a 24-hour bug last month, things didn’t go my way, and I was out of it for five or six days. Now, I’m fighting the start of a cold thanks to some teenager who decided to sneeze a few times in front of me while I was waiting to order a sandwich in a Chinatown cafe/deli last Wednesday. Little fucker didn’t even cover his mouth, but instead he just bent at the waist as if he was bowing to some Japanese salary man. Well, he was way off the mark because there was only an older Vietnamese woman in front of him who waited to take his order.
To be honest, I’m feeling okay, but it’s a real nuisance when your nose starts to run just a little bit once every hour. Then a sneeze may or may not sneak up once every two hours. So, I did what any sane person would do, and that was go out and start some Christmas shopping! I even treated myself by buying a six-pack of Cable Car Lager–which I’ve never tried–at a BevMo.
Now, do I start with one of the above Gold Medal-winning bottles or do I stick with the juice and water? I should have bought a Magic 8-ball while I was in Toys R Us.

Do what I do: stuff wads of tissue up your nose, repeat when soiled. Then watch the ladies flock to you like a moth to a flame.
