Well here we are again, another week another pandemic. Some might call me crazy for making light of it, but personally I find it friggin’ hilarious.

For those of you that don’t know already, I work in airport land. Airport land can be a very strange place at times. Well when the swine flu reared it’s ugly head, it caused quite a stir. Suddenly everywhere I look there were people wearing masks like it was the end of the world. They were glued to the big screen TV’s for all the latest updates. And a sense  of panic had started to set in. Even my employer brought out the hospital grade masks to be opened in the event of a “Mass Outbreak”.  And in the middle of it all was me.

Sure I kept up with the latest updates from my employer on new procedures we had to implement. And I had to be extra vigilant in cleaning my hands and our equipment. I even bought some hand sanitizer to put in my pocket and avoided touching things without good reason. But after a few days I realized that this pandemic was nothing out of the ordinary. A little known fact is that the regular old flu has killed 13,000 people in the U.S. since January. And worldwide it kills about 250,000 to 500,000 people a year. So forgive me if a flu that has only sickened a few hundred and killed some doesn’t cause panic in me. What really had me thinking was the panic that the flu is “spreading” around the globe. Has everyone forgotten that spring break was just a few weeks ago. And one of the most popular destinations for spring breakers is Mexico. So, I find it to be perfectly logical that you would see swine flu around the globe. Just stop and ponder the ease at which a person can hop on an airplane, fly for a few hours and be at ground zero just to in time to have a front row seat for a major flu outbreak. Then you can hop on another plane and take your infected backside back to your home country to share the virus with your friends and loved ones.

Well enough about the swine flu or H1N1 as they like to call it to prevent people from freaking out at the thought of eating bacon. We have been so obsessed this week we have missed some truly great stories like this one.

Couple arrested for sex on lawn at Windsor Castle. Hmmmm how could we have overlooked this classic story of love? It seems that the couple was quite drunk when they wandered onto the lawn at Windsor Castle and proceeded to begin having sex. Never mind that the building and the garden area was packed with tourists. The best part is that Japanese tourist were filming this and the couple seemed oblivious to it. They just kept on enjoying themselves. Well sort of, at least until the police showed up.

Now imagine you wake up in a jail cell and your not quite sure how you got there. I mean heck the last thing you remember is being in a restaurant, enjoying a healthy size pint of beer, and checking out a really hot guy. And now the police want to know why you were having sex on the queens front lawn.  And your desperately trying to figure out why the ugliest man in the world is blowing kisses at you and thanking you for the great time last night.

Oh my too funny. Check out the story for yourself here

Have a great week folks and remember to: A. Stop kissing your neighbors pig and B. Wash your hands please, especially after picking the giant wedgie out of your butt crack or for the men after engaging in some heavy ball handling.
