Recreation How to prevent getting the flu.

The Normal Way:

1. Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.

2. Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.

3. Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system. Walk for at least an hour a day, go for a swim, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.

4. Wash your hands often. If you can't wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.

5. Get lots of fresh air. Open windows whenever possible.

6. Get plenty of rest.

7. Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.

The Medical Way:

Get a flu shot. But while we're on that subject, they wipe the area with alcohol before they give you the shot. Why? Because alcohol kills germs. Which beings us to our next version.

The Drinker's Way:

1. Walk to the liquor store = exercise.

2. Put a lime in your Corona = fruit.

3. Put some celery in your Bloody Mary = veggies.

4. Drink on the bar patio = fresh air.

5. Get drunk, tell jokes, and laugh = eliminate stress.

6. Pass out = rest!

Drinking the alcohol kills the germs in your mouth, and since alcohol is absorbed into your blood, it kills germs throughout your body thus protecting you from disease(sp?).

 

I like the drinker's way. Now, only 8 more years until I can drink...

 

You're damn right it does. The only thing booze wont kill is ass to mouth disease (fecal to oral), probably the worst 24 hour bug you can catch. It's very, very nasty.

I'll take the normal way. at least i know it won't **** up my insides.

im willing to handle the flu if that means i can keep my liver....

 

Jackabee already got her flu shot....

 

So did I. The Nav has no qualms poking us every year with vaccinations, blood work, HIV checks, TB checks and half a dozen other pokes and prods. It's doubly worse if you hate shots.


Yetch...

Dude, you're scaring me.

Amusing, anyway.

 

Or just stay inside.

That works too you know.

Unfortunatly the drinkers way is also a really good way to mess up your liver, espesally if you go along with it right up to the final step.

But if theres anything that you must do, then thats put a lime in your Corona! Its amazing how many places over here don't have any lime and only give you a lemon which is nowhere as nice.

 

Can't say that I'm fond of limes, although it's really cool that you have some lime trees.

Well at least by having citrus fruits you won't get scurvy.

 

The way that post looks, I'd say you were right up method #3's alley.

Shijin got his as well...

And what? Post on BJP 24/7 like Ragnarok? I think not, I want a life!

Sounds like the physical I got before I went into 8th grade, Ow.

 

I do so have a life! I'll have you know just yesterday I... wait, what did I do yesterday? ...I think I did spend it all on BJP.

Well when did I go out then? I know I left the house at some point, but when was it?

Ehh, whatever. It's more important that I'm here and posting.

 

You've proven my point. It's okay, we like your company. Even though no one's on at 3:00 A.M. in the morning.

 

I was joking. But hey, you don't get the flu by sitting in front of your computer all day.

 

Who's going to believe you now?
And you don't become healthy either that way.

 

Revised Drinker's Way

1. Drink a beer in the morning and a beer at night.

That should work pretty well.

 

i beg to differ...

it's okay Rag. no ones going to make you leave BJP.

 

Aren;t we getting off topic?

And there might indeed be someone who would... though that person has got a hell of a long way to go before I'd rather not be here than put up with them.
