There is now no doubt about it
I have double, treble Freemasons Swine Flu ( the most lethal variety ).
I probably only have a few hours left
I’m being a very brave soldier
I may never play the piano in the marching band again
Please provide sympathy – I’m getting none from a very insensitive wife.
The light is fading
The drums have been muffled
Straw has been spread on the streets
A day of national mourning will be declared
Atishooooooooooooooooooooooo !

I would be happy if I had swine flu. Imagine getting the flu and finding out it was the ordinary kind? Totally sucky.

Now that we have had it in this house (at least I think we've had it...It could have been something else) I'll send you a bit of sympathy.
And some Vitamin D
And some homeopathic remedies (Nux is a good one but PQ took Aconite, but Belladona may work too)
And some Garlic and Elderberry syrup and some Echinecea
And a new pillow (to use after you are no longer contagious)
And a new toothbrush (because you are supposed to)
And some hot drinks for the sore throat
And some salt water to gargle with. _________________ Witches motto: We came, we saw, we conjured !

My littlest granddaughter (just under 2) had Swine Flu a couple of weeks ago. She was really quite poorly for a few days but she made a rapid recovery. _________________ Be kind to unkind people; they probably need it the most.

I have to say Fr. Gruesome, your offer to do the honors at the burial is much more interesting than some other posters questions about what plans the nearly-departed has for their worldly belongings.
So Alan, can I have your stereo? |

Compared to the snot that's coming out of my nostrils the Thames is little more than a dried up stream

How rude to hit you on the weekend. How are you atm?
I do hope you wash your hands before you type though.
Just in case, I put on gloves before entering this thread.
I thought the mexican one was of the coughing variant? Not that a runny nose isn't a bother squared.

I’m still walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
Under normal circumstances I would not have come into work today.
Unfortunately our new German owners are going to announce who will be staying and who will be going at the end of November / beginning of December.
We all suspect that they have made their minds up but ( as we know they have gone through the sickness statistics very carefully ) nobody is going sick under any circumstances at the moment.
Therefore I am going to infect the whole damn lower floor of the company headquarters.
I just wish they’d get it over with and tell us  _________________ Member of the Secret Order of Laurel and Hardy Witchfinder Generals.
