“I had a glass of orange juice this morning. I'll be fine.”
Heidi Crittenden,
Pig Farmer
“Can you get infected if you work in Mexico at a pig farm where all the pigs are infected and you take no health precautions? If so, I have made some terrible life decisions.”
Sam Smith,
Insulation Cutter
"Let's see if I can recall what precautions I took during the last outbreak of swine flu back in 1976. Oh, yes, I bought some oregano from a guy at an Atlanta Rhythm Section concert and scorched my chest trying to iron on a 'Beaver Patrol' decal."
