I just returned from the UK, but I've been careful not to kiss any pigs.

QFT. I have to be careful. I get the flu shot every year because my asthma is severe. Luckily my asthma is well treated on advair, but the flu is a big risk for me. One year I missed getting the shot and I had to be on steroids for weeks before my lungs recovered.

GRRR @hamthrax
Oh, and you CAN catch HIV from a toilet seat if you sit down BEFORE the other man gets up. That man has to have HIV of course and contact has to be maintained and well, you get the point.

Surely not.
Next thing you'll be saying you can't catch AIDS from toilet seats.
It is a joke. Spam, eggs, sauge, and spam.
