* If you know you’re sick with the flu, stay home.
* Get a flu shot, which not only protects you but helps prevent contagion.
* Within a day of becoming ill, ask your doctor about antiviral medications, which can shorten the episode and contain the virus.
* Be especially cautious between late December and early March, the peak of flu season.
* Sneeze or cough into your elbow, not into your hands.
* Clean phones, doorknobs and desktops with alcohol swabs.
* Throw used tissues away!
* Wash your hands and face often with hot, soapy water.
* During flu season, never let anyone lick your keyboard.

* During flu season, never let anyone lick your keyboard.
Okay...
During flu season, never let anyone lick your keyboard.

All good up to the last one. And the last one is actually good advice as well. Just... :confused:
* Throw used tissues away!
Uhh... What exactly do they mean by "used"?

Okay...
Damn! And here I had my heart set on licking your ... keyboard! :D
Good advice. I'd never want someone's saliva on my precious keys.

I notice it says nothing about "never lick someone else's keyboard", so I guess that I can keep licking the keyboards in the library.
I wonder if I should keep sucking on the trackball though, or if that is too much?

It's only to much if it is made by Microsoft. If it is a Logitec, go for the gusto.

I aim to please*.
*I often fail, but at least I try to aim.
...You know, there are far worse things you could do with a trackball...

No, I go to a public highschool so this is considered uberformal.

Isn't this one of these unwritten rules that people normally obey automatically? You know, like "Don't set yourself on fire" or "Don't cut off your own genitals"

And yet, people do both of the above on a surprisingly regular basis. So it wouldn't surprise me that much if people had keyboard licking parties somewhere.

Nah, no experience. I just have a vivid imagination and photographic memory. This makes for some extremely disturbing mental images.

Scary but true... I wonder how keyboards tastes though? PErhaps it's time the NSers got together for a little keyboard licking?

I tried licking my trackball once, then forgot I had an optical mouse and nearly seared my eyeball shut.

Why must you play with my heart so, Potaria? Dangling first before my eyes a cornucopia of delights and peripheral devices, and then whisking them away in one foul gesture.
Have you no pity? No remorse? Is there nothing but blackness in your heart?
WHY DOST THOU TAUNT ME!?
*Ahem*
Anyway, moving right along to the next item on the agenda . . .

Well.. It could've been worse. You could've choked on your balls.
