Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other people
and their rug rats that I don't know on your recommendation.

Like hell I will. :)

I hear there's a ship's pool, the winner being the one who accurately
guesses the number of screaming brats tossed overboard.

Are you the same lying Harry Krause that made a $100 bet with me on the
election?

I won the bet and you disavowed it, although you stated clearly in this
newsgroup you agreed.

The bet was not for my gain. I asked you to send it to the Make a Wish
Foundation.


We all made the same wish, Wally: that you would drop dead.
Apparently we didn't wish hard enough.

There's that "we" again. Speak for yourself, Krause.

Damn when did you become such an expert on virus and bacteria?

Would you consider your condition to be Microbiophobia or Misophobia?

It's Mysophobia and no, I'm not a mysophobe.

I do have two immunological disorders and have to be aware of the very
real possibility of infections of all sorts from sinus to routine
cuts, bruises and skin problems like poison ivy. If I get a cut, it
takes a while to heal becaue of it and if it gets infected, I have to
cut out some of the regular meds to take antibiotics and that ain't no
fun.

Besides I hate crowds. :)

For me that's probably true. I smoked like a fiend for 39 years, so I don't
worry much about the little things any more.

Like hell I will. :)

I'm with you, no eff'ing way I'd EVER take a cruise on one of those
monsters. A small river cruise with under a dozen staterooms, maybe. But
one of those floating apartment buildings... never.

Yup. Good idea. Don't go to your local grocery store either. Don't even
*think* about getting into a cab!

One of the songs on board was, "I've got the cleanest hands, in the world.
I've got the cleanest hands, in the world. I've got the cleanest hands, in
the world. The cleanest hands in the whole wide world!" (Sung to the tune,
"He's got the whole world...in his hands"!

This was true because we were continuously confronted with crew giving us
hand disinfectants.

Airplanes, I hear, are much better because of all the fresh air coming into
the cabin!
