Man cold - humour

I haven't had a cold or any other illness in at least 10 years. The key is to give your immune system plenty of target practice. Stop cleaning, let dishes and garbage pile up, eat plenty of raw meat, dress as lightly as possible in the winter, and be sure come in contact with as many public and/or exotic surfaces as possible. It worked for me.

It's true. Haven't you seen the episode of the Simpsons where Mr. Burns is diagnosed with every illness known to man? But seriously, I don't wash my hands, and I'm far healthier than the people that I know that are fanatical hand washers/sanitizer users. It's the same concept as a vaccine or immunization. Small exposure leads to immunity without illness.

And whiskey isTHE BEST cold medicine ever!

Right. Memo to self: find Crusty's pic; memorize; don't shake hands; don't eat his food.

Other than that, good on you.

Give me a break man. There was a blood drive at work and I gave double red. I was still a bit weak when I wrote that.

It's not like I've sworn off washing my hands forever... I just don't make a habbit of it. If I get something on them, I wash them. I'm not one of those "wash before you eat, wash before you touch your face, blah blah blah" kind of people.

And you probably wouldn't want to eat my food anyway. I'm a vegetarian.
