You know, cuz I always assumed it was the big bad germs doing that. Like bacteria, or those nasty Viruses. My bad, I think I'll put on a jacket now, and mittens, and a ski cap, and boots-- as a matter of fact I'll just get a big insulated suit that will make me look like a big fat marshmallow-- no nasty flu for me, I'm plenty warm. <br /><br />Or I could, you know, get a flu shot, wash my hands, try to avoid the guy that's hacking nonstop on the bus... you know, that sort of thing.

He would sometimes put one on if it was below zero, but never zipped it up. To this day, I seldom see him with a coat or jacket on, and of the whole family, I can honestly say I can remember him being sick with a cold or flu only twice. I also chose my battles; and coat-wearing just fell way below driving without a seatbelt, avoiding alcohol and drugs, and other risky behaviors on the battle-scale.
