A different type of flu

I could tell a thousand stories about my father. He is extremely comedic, even when he is trying not to be.

He came over the other night and we got into the discussion of the influenza epidemic currently affecting our society.

My daughter was the first to pick it up. The budding veternarian keeps her ears open when it comes to the flu virus as she is more concerned about the animal population than her human neighbours.

My father kept saying, "this HINI flu is very different from the usual flu virus". What I didn't catch was that he was replacing the "1" with an "I".

The next day, in a fit of laughter, my daughter said, "Grandpa said we may get infected "Hini" flu....does that mean the shot will go into our butt?"

In these days, with the media instilling fear about H1N1, we need a little humour to deal with the indecision of getting the BUTT SHOT........
