Just when you thought it was safe to take a shower, here’s a health scare that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn pale:
Bathing In Bad News (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Are health reports making you glower?
Is the swine flu bug making you cower?
Then get ready to frown
At the new scare in town:
Deadly germs in the head of your shower.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sufficiently nervous about GWB destroying the world as we know it. So I really don’t need new scary things to worry about:
* Being autopsied while still, technically, alive.
* Swimming in hot lakes causes amoeba-related deaths.
* “Computers could mimic human speech so perfectly that vocal terrorism could be a new threat in 10-15 years’ time…” (We’re already getting enough vocal terrorism from Bush — thank you very much!)[tags]Autopsied Alive, Computerized Vocal Terrorism, Hot Lakes, Killer Amoeba, President Bush[/tags]
