I'm Feeling Better, But...

Here's my phone script for the week:

"I'm sorry, but (person you are looking for) is not in today. Can I take a message?"

Our entire lab (except our technician, who much have mutant disease-resistant abilities) is out with the flu. Unfortunately, even BF has been home sick this week. When I called him one afternoon, to see if he was still alive, he said,

"I don't know, but I just coughed up something that looks like an alien egg. Is that a good thing?"
