Words to Live By.

I made one of those classic blunders three weeks ago that you inevitably live to regret. See, there are many words to live by, and while most of them are well known, some are not. Unfortunately for me, mine was one of the former, and I damn sure should have known better. Here is an example of some well known words to live by:

1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
2. You don't spit into the wind.
3. Never eat yellow snow.
4. And for you Princess Bride fans, "never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"!

Well here are a couple more:

5. Never make fun of any one on Crutches or use someone's crutch in jest

And lastly, and the one that pertains to my ignorance

6. Never, ever, make fun of others for being sick. (Jan 24th blog)

Uh oh, it seems that William forgot good ol' number 6. What the hell was I thinking? Nothing like getting cocky and tempting fate. Making fun of sick people....are you kidding me.....well guess what? Fate just took a big ol' bite out of my rump, and I now have the ##$$**#( FLU. INCONCEIVABLE! Yep, that's right, Mr. "I never get sick" feels like he fell down 10 flights of stairs, and landed in on his head,. If you would have asked me a week ago if I thought it was possible to be shivering and sweating at the same time, I would have thought you a fool. Well not anymore. For those of you who have never been "lucky" enough to experience this, consider your life blessed. It is without a doubt the sickest I have ever felt in my entire 42 years on this earth. This is one hell of a penance.

So, I would like anyone who is reading this to make note of these words to live by, and take them to heart. They will serve you well if you let them. If not, prepare to suffer immensely. You have been warned.

Bye for now,......feeling like dirt.
