Oh, well that's typical.

As you might expect, I have been poking morbid and inappropriate fun at this swine flu situation from the start. Ever since an official health emergency was declared I have been in on the pig jokes, the cracks about how nothing I am doing today matters, the attacks on sensationalist media and the real and present problems that go along with the wonders of a society with such ready access to discussion and information.

Naturally, I have a runny nose.

I suspect this is allergies, it being the season when trees go at it like brazen hussies. But if it proves to be anything more serious than the sniffles, I'll be calling in sick, talking to my doctor, stocking up on chicken soup, and admitting to whatever is hiding above the stratosphere that, alright, I probably deserved it.

Won't stop a tongue-in-cheek labeling, though.
