CDC Alert

[''The village idiot'']

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.
This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).
If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT.
This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.
Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends.
If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

on a more serious point, seems a bloke died after spreading some home made manure on his garden.

he seemed to inhale something with a name like aspergers but with no disrespect to anyone who has a kid with a similar sounding illness.

so might be worth using an inhaler when spreading manure off your own composting heap.


as for work, that's a four letter word ;D

Would that have been aspergillus?
Its the spores from this fungus that do the harm and some people have bad reactions to it
Other names:
Brewers lung - from mouldy grain
Farmers lung - ditto
Bird fanciers lung - grows on the bird sh*t

I'd have thought most common place would be renovating old houses.
