Things not to shout out in the workplace

I've been following the Swine Flu epidemic closely, and reading every story that appears about a new fatality.

As I read I've been playing Underlying Causes lotto, trying to guess which paragraph the story will reveal that the victim in question had health issues that ultimately meant their demise.

Today I saw the first story, I won't link to it, where a healthy person died.

Naturally I shouted out 'ha ha, sucked in fitty, take that in the neck.'

A colleague asked what I was talking about. Proudly I announced that pig flu was starting to claim the fit and vigorous. 'That's for all us unhealthy people' I added, possibly employing a black power fist salute.

Yeah ... turns out it was a young child.

Area man feels chastised. And rightly so!
