So I keep hearing that one of the ways to reduce the spread of Swine Flu is to cough into the crook of your arm instead of your hand. I guess folks are less likely to pass germs via elbow crooks than hands. Probably good advice. But now I’m thinking about how I wash my hands multiple times a day but generally don’t wash my elbow crook more than twice. The same probably goes for everybody else, which means although it may be safer for the general public, we are going to have a preponderance of germy elbow crooks.
Which means you definitely won’t catch me at a square dance this winter. Not that you would any other winter, but it’s particularly unlikely this year.

Sorry to comment every time you write but I am your proud Mom. Just think how long it will take women in the bathroom if they have to wash the crooks of their arms each time.

Mom,
I’m not deleting your comment. It’s nice to have a proud mom, and it’s also nice not to have a big zero next to the comments.
