Dung on Keyboard
Sorry, it was the best I could do.
This is El Hombre's fault, him and his bloody man flu. I tell you, if the virus doesn't kill him I bloody well will. The groaning, the heavy sighing, coughing so violently he's at risk of giving himself whiplash... Actually, let's stop a moment with the coughing. I don't know why, but El Hombre has developed this habit of coughing like he's headbutting a bouncer, and without even bothering to put his hand to his mouth. I suspect this is because he likes the sound it makes. Noisy. Rattly. A little bit put on. Why muffle the acoustics of his glorious suffering with a germ-catching palm?
So my immune system catches the virus instead, fumbles it and lets it roll through its legs and into my body. Butter-fingered phagocytes. Don't they know I can't be ill, that I'm busy? I have a house to sell, and before I can sell said house I have to rebuild it from the ground up. By Friday.
And now with added incovenience of only having one lung, I fear I may be asking the impossible...
