Especially if you're on the subway sitting next to me or leaning over me. If you fall into either category, we can pretty much bet that you're also coughing without covering your mouth. Do me a favor - I know that cold season is on the way out, but on your way to/from somewhere, go to Chinatown and pick up some Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa "oral demulcent". Take a tablespoon in the morning and a tablespoon in the evening...

*Stay Home*

And wait for your cough to fade away. Seriously. My father is a man of western medicine, but ever since I put him on this shiz he's had one of his friends pick him up bottles of it by the half-dozen. I'm telling you , it's the oral demulcent of the gods. Just get one bottle and e-mail me in the morning. But until then, please stay off the subway. Or at least have the decency to cover your infections, germ-filed mouth. The subways are dirty enough without your contributions.
