Once Again, I've Done the Impossible
posted on july 25, 2003, tag: me
For some reason, this summer—much like last summer—I've managed to get a cold. I don't know how it happens, but I get a common cold in the middle of the warmest season of the year. If anyone out there is a doctor, I would make the perfect basis of a medical journal article—the man who gets a cold when it's hot—and I'm willing to negotiate my cut of the press you would receive for such writing.
Anyway, it's starting to go away now, so I'm feeling better. But this week wasn't fun. It's always awkward to be coughing and feverish in a time when people are wearing shorts. On the subway, every time I cough people look at me like some sort of freak. If anyone asks I just mutter "SARS" in my broken voice. I tend to get a lot more seats that way.

You're really close to being the scary guy on the subway. Just take it a step further. Let your hair grow in a little, then randomly chop and shave in spots, add a little hacking cough and you're set.
