When the Homily is about Immunology

The Pox

A pox befell the Reuniuon house. A reunion of old college buddies, from this college specifically was held in a beach house roundabout Lincoln City, Oregon (home to the shortest river in the world, which as far as I could see was quite unable to complete it's journey to the sea but rather petered out in the sands of the beach.) Naturally as we were packing up to leave, the first of my family's victims began demonstrating the technicolor yawn - no doubt a precursor of what was going to be a LOOOONG drive back to Seattle. Now, what do you suppose the odds were that 6 people crammed into a Dodge Caravan with one of them puking their guts out that the five non-puking ones would remain in such a state for very long? Presently 3 are down with 3 to go. Communicable diseases are a wonderful thing.
