No, You Don't Have SARS

Editorial -- Jason
Yowza!

It's come to my attention that you've been under the weather lately with a terrible cough and a runny nose. Well let me tell you something: No, You Don't Have SARS!! Stop saying that because you don't have it. SARS is a serious thing, there are people out there that are in really bad shape because they actually have SARS. You shouldn't walk around telling people you have it because it's not funny.

I bet you don't even know what SARS stands for... No, it doesn't stand for "So A'm Real Sick". That's ridiculous. I'll be damned if I know what it stands for... something like "Asian Really-Bad Sickness" or something, but that's not the point. You don't have it so stop saying you do. Just because you're coughing every 5 minutes doesn't mean you're allowed to diagnose yourself as having SARS. It's one thing that it's in the news everyday so leave yourself out of the picture.

If you are demented and really want SARS, why don't you go to China Station 1-2-3. I hear one of their cooks came down with it. Order the Peking Duck with Spicy SARS. If that doesn't work out for you, why don't you go to Toronto. You can visit the CN tower (like the Space Needle, but uglier), and you may be able to catch SARS then.

Bottom line is that you don't have SARS. I think you're just trying to get people's attention which is really sad. You remind me of my coworker who thinks she's cool because she drinks Tejava.
