Default Re: I\'ve Got Mumps

I had the Mumps in February. Like you I've been vaccinated twice.

Luckily I had an EXTREMELY mild case (slight headache, tender throat). This meant that 1) I didn't have to go to my crappy job for four days; and 2) I stayed on my butt and watched movies all day and played poker all evening.

If I could arrange to get the Mumps in that fashion once a year, I absolutely would.

P.S. I think that it was pretty cool to have an incredibly contagious disease prefaced by an article. Saying "I've got "THE Mumps"' beats the hell out of saying 'I've got indigestion'.
