Our kitten gave me a tiny scratch on the hand this morning.  I'm sure it will turn septic and I'll die of cat scratch fever.

"Cat scratch fever" sounds like the name of a disco song.

Not disco (though sure could have been) -- classic rock!  :)

If it makes you feel any better, my brother got that from our cats when he was about 12, and he's still around 38 years later.

Mind you, he did have the resilience of youth going for him....

But does he lick his hands to wash his face or play with balls of yarn?

For a few years, but after he enlisted in the Army they made him cut all that out.

I'm cold and can't warm up, and my arms, shoulders, and hands are stiff and achy.  I must have the virus!

(Can't have anything to do with spending the better part of an hour this morning using a hammer, screwdriver, and blow dryer to defrost our ancient and way-past-due upright freezer, or with the pile of ice thrown out in the grass by the driveway.)

My right eye has swollen shut.  Must be Covid-19.

No?   That's poison Ivy?  well @%&!

Gah!  That sounds horrible.  Don't spread it to your other eye.

[FishProf]

I don't have to wear a face mask for online meetings, but perhaps an eye patch?

And yes, it is awful.

but perhaps an eye patch?

Yes!  Wear an eye patch!  Say "Arrgh" several times!  Maybe paint on a scar! 

Make them question how you are surviving "Social Distancing!!"

[FishProf]

Are energy vampires harmed by social distancing?

Are energy vampires harmed by social distancing?

I sure hope so.  Also - if I have to get at all close to any of the ones I work with, that, combined with the malaise I'm feeling now, will be enough to put me in a coma.

[FishProf]

As an online Pirate, do I threaten a "Crowd-hauling"?

[clean]

Oh no!  The Energy Vampires have Struck!! My power is out.  Im using my cellphone to connect to the internet and my laptop battery to log in!

Im sure that the damn CV19 has infected my local power plant!

Sorry FP. Do I dare ask how you got poison ivy juice on your eyelid and surrounding area?
