The traffic was REELY thin on my way into work this moring.
There's no one here. Just us kidless folks and people with stay at home wives/husbands.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE IT'S TIME TO PANIC IN THE STREETS.

I wish they'd close the schools around here, then. I was 15 minutes late because of the traffic.

Or maybe it was because of the swine flu...

It's not called swine flu now, it's Mexican Influenza. Apparently it's not ok to **** off muslims and jews, but I guess naming a pandemic after citizens of the originating country is totally cool.

I know. No one insisted that we change "bird flu" to "Vietnam flu" or whatever.

I like how you address that without saying if you got the joke or not.

And by like, I mean dislike.

I believe the concern was that religious Jews and Muslims might be reluctant to seek treatment for something related to swine.

Possibly. Changing the name doesn't change its genesis, though. So to speak.

Wait wait... it's really no longer called swine flu because use of the word "swine" offended certain muslims and jews?

Tell me that was a joke.

I believe they were saying that you can't offend Muslims or Jews (i.e. you have to be politically correct) but it's ok to offend Mexicans.

The "swine" part had nothing to do with the point. I could be wrong, though.

ETA: It appears I'm wrong. My mistake.

I'd say that H1N1 is politically correct, but if you replace the 1s with Is it sounds like heinie and we wouldn't want to offend fat people.
