   I've had the flu a few times.  To quote a character from   
   Schlock Mercenary, "I've had fun before, and this is not it."   
   And, having hit the 70s, influenza is more of a real threat   
   than it was when I was younger.  (Barring a Spanish Flu style   
   "Make your own immune system kill you with a cytokine storm"   
   type infection.)
