Waging War Against a Cold
Having a cold sucks more than Michael Jackson would if he ran an all-boy daycare center. (That'd be "a lot" for those keeping score at home.) Alas, it could be worse; I could have bird flu or leprosy, both of which would be tremendous downers (especially leprosy). Fortunately, bird flu is something China has under control. Less than two weeks ago, China's Wen Jiabao, the country's Premier, said, "[Defeating SARS] inspires us to definitely be able to defeat the bird flu epidemic that is now emerging." Thank God the Chinese government has bird flu under control. (It did such a great job controlling SARS.) That's one less worry! Now, if only I can manage to do what one of my high school classmates couldn't do: avoid becoming a leper.

There IS going to be an update about your former classmate who is now or at least since high school has been a leper, right?

Something always gets lost in translation. Are you sure the word he was using was Chinese for "defeat"? He also could have been using a different form of the word, intending to say "defeated by." Since when does Fool know Chinese?

P.S. feel better; although you do suck, we wouldn't want you to suck more than Michael Jackson.

The "Leper" is happily married (at last check) and living somewhere in the United States. I cannot actually confirm that he had leprosy. However, there was enough evidence to at least survive a motion for summary judgment.
