On Immunity: A diatribe sponsored by my cold.

Hello Immune System,

I thought we were doing quite well together, I drank orange juice and got eight hours every night and you did your job. People got sick around me, but we were a team, so you made sure that I didn't get whatever they had.

You know that Susan's immune system is laughing at you, right? You remember Susan's wimpy Immune System, it never saw a cold it didn't want to be close, personal friends with. Well, who's sick now? Seriously, you're the laughingstock of the Ten Stanley Immune Systems.

But Jo's sick too, you say? Well, when did we decide it was a good idea to do what Jo does?

Get your act together, you're embarrassing me.

Love,
Toni
