Add This to the Kit Bag
I like to mispronounce diseases and insult people by telling them they have them: herps, hepatitties, loops. It’s fun for the whole family. Alternately, you can pronounce HIV as though it were a noun, and tell someone they have the hiv.
My new favorite thing is FIV. I found out about it a couple of years ago, but it’s only in the past few months that it had gained a place in my repertoire of quick snaps. It never stops being funny. I was at a blood drive, and someone asked if my hairy Irish ass could give blood without infecting the recipient with lycanthropy. I responded that the insulter was lucky the Red Cross didn’t screen for Cat AIDS, or they’d ne’er be able to give. For the life of me, I don’t know why it is funny every single time, but it is. Feel free to add it to your kit bag of disposable lines.

By the by, Buffy Season 8 was released yesterday. Available only in comic book form and written by sci-fi sensei Joss Whedon, it supposedly picks up where 7 left off. I let the newlywed know, but I figure he’s too busy with his bride to communicate this to the rest of all y’all.
