Because cancer, heart disease and auto accidents are communicable diseases. Brilliant! Were you in pre-med or pre-law? Same Dif. And it was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Double Secret Idiocy comes to mind.

Nice try as it relates to this issue and your upcoming furlough. How many furloughs have there been as a result of coronary disease, cancer or car accidents? Can’t fix stupid comes to mind.
